Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?

It Maybe a little strange to ask this question here since clearly this is a forum for folks still loving and using Vinyl.
So I am looking for some feedback from folks that play very little of their LPs these days and have decided to sell all of it (or already have). I have thought about it for years seems like a hassle trying to sell your TT and or your record collection, that is mainly why mine stays put (not because I use it).

Anyway if you have sold - (Not if you’re keeping it forever)

Have you regretted it?
Or is to nice to reduce the clutter and happily move on?

Some people would never sell their analog rig and collection, I get that.

Late last year my wife went full time for her job.  We decided to sell our house in the country and rent in the city until her retirement in a couple of years.  Massive downsizing required.  
I sold all my records and stereo equipment, and with the money I made from the sales I bought a Bluesound PowerNode 2i streamer, a pair of ELAC speakers and some HIFIMAN HE-400i open backed headphones. With the rest of the money I could get a 60-year Qobuz subscription. 
Funny thing is,  now I don’t spend time or money looking for, buying, cleaning or organizing records. But I listen to MORE music, newer music, different music. Of course, everything is put on hold due to COVID...

 During 1970’s records were very important to me. I spent a great amount of time and money acquiring a sizable vinyl collection. I,however, used /abused my records during numerous parties so they were no longer in pristine shape.I sold a  Thorens along with all my 45’s and albums to a DJ who did weddings. 
The Thorens tt  was replaced by a Marantz CD63SE with remote, a major improvement  to my music enjoyment and I never looked back 
While I like the esthetic of a turntable I never cared for the effort required to play 30 minutes of music.

Vintage McIntosh, Harbeth and Marantz CD player  kept me happy.
