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.

Yes I did sell all of my vinyl, except for about 4 or 5 that are DBX encoded. Remember that?  They sounded great.  The impetus for the sale was an all Audio Research front end and amps.  The source may very well change to a Bryston Digital Player and associated DAC in the near future. Interestingly I still have an original 1917 Victrola and about 300 78s. It's amazing how loud it will play.
No, I don't regret it one bit (no pun).

We are now in the Golden Age of the LP. There are companies now releasing fabulous older analog stuff on the best vinyl and pressings ever. (except Rycodisc)

" I listen a lot less to LP's, but whenever I get over my laziness and put a LP on the turntable, there is nothing that compare to it and it will continue for days, cleaning records and listening - it is like I'm possessed. "

Right there with ya  @jokze  ! 

Happy Listening ....

Can you recommend any companies?

@moofoo
thought the same till I started streaming. There’s so much new fine music made.
You just need a tool to find it, because the media industry will strangely not help you.

I have never been without LPs and an analog setup.

However, I did sell off a part of my vinyl some years ago, and regret it ever since.

Of course I miss quite a few of those LPs, and might not be able to remember everything I sold, in order to replace it.

The other reason for regret is, much of my collection is made up of progressive music from all over the world, some of it is rare and now worth quite a bit of $$$.

Even though I kept all of the real rare, expensive LPs (most of it rare Italian prog, many LPs worth over $1000, and more), there is no telling what I sold that also might be worth big $$$.
