Lost all interest in collecting and gaming Needed money to put down on a house Needed money to go back to school Divorce Lost job and needed the money to pay bills So far I haven't heard anyone do it for a baby, but know this is a reason why some have done it. I feel like the leading cause it mostly a shift in priorities and realizing that they need the money from their collection to pay for something far more important to them. --- End quote --- If the wife was a gamer would they have to split their collection? Don't think I could think of anything more humiliating. |

Maybe the saying needs to be updated to "The husband wears the dresses/skirts in that relationship"? I dunno if that works either. I mean, the husband might have the full support of the wife to cross dress and who are we to kink shame anyone? :P On topic, most of the bases have been covered in regards to reasons for someone to sell their collections. For me, I imagine it would be due to financial difficulties or loss of interest. I've been made essentially homeless before and having a sizable collection can be a PITA to move about. I know a lot of it isn't worth much at all so I'd have to either donate it, give it away, or sell it at a huge loss (not that I expect to get what I paid in). |
