Times change, and so do we. Needs change, and because you Vin are clearly looking at the world with eyes open, you can see that there may be greater needs than playing a game in a home collection. Not long ago I negotiated an exit from my former partnership, knowing full well the risks of times ahead (I actually believe the large firm will be at risk in the next 18 months, so it was for the family's financial safety that I did what I did). I mentioned to my wife that there's plenty of saved up $ in the games if that was ever needed - I think she nearly fell over - as did I when she told me I was **not** selling any of them.

As Nino mentioned, we have not seen anything of what many other countries have experienced - we're throwing chunks of cash at half the population in an effort to stimulate things (despite the negatives, there is an effect from what's being done, part of the reason why we haven't seen things as bad as others). But I agree - there is worse to come, much much worse than most would appreciate. People talk of the 1929 Great Depression. But they don't realise that 1929 was just the historical trigger date - things weren't bad (save for those that lost directly in the crash) until 1931, and then really 1932. We're only in late 1930 by comparison. The next few years may mirror 1930-32. And then perhaps again years of stagnation before things recover. Maybe selling off now is not a bad idea.
