4) If the above doesn't help, sell out and find something else to do.

This has been my philosophy the last several months. Have pretty much taken a self imposed break from buying and checking EBAY every day. What I have been doing is working on the memorabilia room, enjoying the stuff that's already displayed, and making sure all my checklists/documentation/want-need lists are all up to date. It's been a nice refreshing change, and what I've come to realize is that I'm never going to be able to buy of find everything I want/need so I'll just enjoy what I have and the rest will sort itself out.
