A few years ago I gave my friend's kid who's a massive SW fan a decent installed crystal reveal Luke saber that was just sitting on a shelf. His reaction was worth way more than anything I could've gotten for it. So I started giving more away, sold a few things and now everything that I have left has sentimental value and fits on one shelf. I'm happy that most went to friends that love SW. I truly could care less how much anything I have left is worth and with a few small exceptions I'm really not looking to acquire more.

I've sold off at least half my collection over the past year or so and am still selling. Markets real low though, only getting about 30-40% value if lucky. Lots of things have been sold at 25% value just to get rid of it. Too much clutter has built up over the years, it's time to move on.
I've told my kids once I'm gone anything left is their problem.

I am thinning out my collection and not just of Star Wars. I’m keeping the toys and collectibles that I have an attachment to. Selling is certainly not as fun as buying. I know that I can make one phone call and all the toys can be gone. But at a ridiculously low price. So I prefer to do it a little at a time. I think there will always be someone willing to buy the good Star Wars items. Just maybe not at the price you want.

The main problem with SW items is that quality has been increasing since the start. The sentimental value is the main source of value of these items.
Unlike so many other productions, most newer items are of higher quality across the board from those first offerings, because there was a sustained interest.
