Not saying you won't find a collector-buyer, but it may take some time, especially it being a 5 figure purchase. Just my 2 cents. Great job on building it!

Yep. I understand. It’s always been backwards to me to see dealers break sets and sell to people who are trying to put it back together.

I know the fun in piecing a set together, but surely there is someone out there who wants to save time and money…

As I was building my set run, I bought them up to the 5k range but this is pre-2018 - and most of the 60-69 were between $1200-$3000, so a little more palpable as a one time purchase. I doubt I would have bought it all at one time with a >$10,000 purchase. I would have built with lots and bought the stars a little at a time in order to spread out the pain - and probably end up spending substantially more (but staying happily married)
