Not a full time dealer, but I know what you mean. I really only miss a few cards that I have sold from the personal collection. They have always been moved in order to bring in something I liked more. I had one sale that bugged me for awhile because I sold a rare card that I liked for less than $100 and regretted it. Didn't really need the money and felt dumb for selling it. Recently snagged a replacement in a higher grade, so don't have to deal with that feeling anymore.
Haven't had to sell anything to pay for rent or family emergencies (knock on wood). I am prepared for that though and I like to think I would handle it with poise and look at the big picture of what's really important in life (it's not cards).
