I miss checking my eMails every day to see what sold.
I miss the excitement of receiving cards from my consignors.
I miss learning about the business.
I miss the aggravation from bad buyers.
I miss picking up stuff at the shows.
I miss the extra cash.
I miss selling on eBay.

I have been thinking about selling cards again once I finalize my move. It will feel like I am starting over since I will need to find new consignors.

Has anyone else closed their business only to end up reopening because they suffered the withdrawal symptoms just like mine?

This should improve your mood a bit. How about listing the things YOU DO NOT MISS?? That may help swing the needle back towards it being the right decision.
