What have you just SOLD - anti-thread to "What have you just BOUGHT"

Racking up some money for a possible M8.2 or M9 purchase I've sold 2 out of 3 Pentax MX bodies I had, 1900's Afghanistan jewelry, and hopefully by the end of the evening 2 WWII german daggers army and navy...

Consigned to local camera shop: Yashica Mat, Super Ricohflex w/ Autostop, Mamiyaflex A, Diacord G. The Mamiyaflex A (fixed Olympus lenses) has the most sophisticated auto frame counter outside of Rolleiiflex, and the Diacord G has a 10 bladed aperture tessar-type lens. Grateful to have used these working beauties, time has come for others to enjoy them.

Shop has just reported the quick sale of the hoary old ca. 1949 Mamiyflex A and the undersung Diacord G at my asking price. I feel some discerning buyer shared my recognition of the build quality and innovative engineering design of these forgotten classics. The prices they fetched validated my gut decision to rescue these orphan gems.
 
Probably should sell that LN Nikon D80, after it returns home from Nikon that is. Looks brand new, never even really used.
 
I have recently sold almost all of my 35mm stuff. Three lenses (for filming with my dslr), a Yashica Electro 35 GTN and a Rollei 35 are allowed to stay. The Yashica has travelled all over the world before I bought it so I´m a little sentimental and the Rollei is always in the car. But about 15 cameras had to leave. I found out that I was only shooting medium format for month and that composing with a waist level finder is what fits me best so I just have the cameras I mentioned above plus three Rolleis (two ´flexes, one ´magic) and my Hasselblad.
And I tell you what: I´m happier than before because now I can concentrate on making pictures. I don´t think I´m a collector, shooting is what I really love and I´ll do that now! The GAS is over after 14 month of analogue shooting and now I know what fits me best.

...bunch of other stuff...

I intended to get some money back in my savings account but came across a R4M on ebay that I couldn't pass up. Turned out to be someone who was very familiar with RFF, etc. Really decent guy who also sold me a grip for a very reasonable price.

I still have a bunch more to sell but am feeling more content with what I have as a user. The R4M has been brilliant even though I've only used it with a 35mm lens.
 
I sold my FourThirds SLR mount Panasonic/Leica Summilux-D 25mm f/1.4 ASPH lens. A superb, fast normal lens for the Olympus E-1 and E-5 that I used to work with so much ...

While I'd miss it if I were using my remaining E-1, I've hardly touched it to make a dozen photos this entire year. Time to let go of stuff cluttering up the closet. I might indeed sell everything but the E-1 body and my most used macro lenses.

I also sold a Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4 AI-S ED-IF and matching TC300 2x Teleconverter. Another lovely lens that I've hardly used since I bought it. Time for it to delight someone else.
 
Sold my D7000, I bought it to see if I could develop an enthusiasm for digital. It gathered dust for a bit, then I sold it to go back to 100% film.
 
Sold all my Nikon af's F4s, N-90s, and N-80 plus lens. Using a Nikon FG and my old FM-10 and enjoying it more. Do have the Nikon D-3100 which works great with fast grandchildren.
 
Have a Ricoh GR-1s in the classifieds and am thinking about selling a Sigma dp1s as I have the dp2s that gets more use (relatively speaking...)
