I needed a clean break. I don't even come on here much anymore because it's too tough to look at all the great stuff.
That was my exit strategy, get out fast and clean.
I did the same thing with my collection of U.S. Navy rating badges. I left the hobby because some items were too rare and expensive and I needed the money upfront or I would never see it again that's how I ended up $4,000 in debt on one credit card within two months time! Cards are better for me because I can take my time collecting. You did the right thing by deleting all your evidence, I did the same thing, sometimes it's too painful to look back
