I have all I ever wanted and yet I feel so "weighed" down at times with all this shit load of gear! And yet when I sell something I feel that "weight" comes off my shoulders but then I start to miss what I had sold ... What's going on here ?

You may have a bit of the Irish in your ancestry.
What's really bad is I even buy accessories in anticipation of buying something that I don’t have yet. I bought some 1/4" 10 1/2" reels of tape some time ago because I was going to buy a Tascam 32. I got a great deal on a 22-2 instead and was so impressed with the performance that I'm not planning on getting any other half-tracks. So I've sold off some off the tape.
I even have ammunition for firearms I don’t have – another hobby. Can’t sell that on eBay though. I’m trying to trim down my arsenal as well.
Then there’s alternative energy, wind generators, solar panels and such – batteries and cables all over the garage -- the half of the garage that is not the gymnasium/karate dojo. No my car won’t fit in there anymore.
Oh, and my library with rare books and new books on everything imaginable – mostly theology, history, religions, and social science with some conservation and natural science thrown in for good measure. That fills one room.
Oh yeah, almost forget, I have a job – computers – networking parts and pieces of every kind routers, switches wireless devices all over the place.
Almost forgot about ham radio too -- well, I'm kind of getting out of that, but I still have radios, antennas, scanners, shortwave, etc.
If I throw something away I often find I need it later. What to do?
I’m a packrat anyway.
