Hello All,
I collect old Coleman camping gear and have multiple pieces that are worth a decent amount of money. My collection as a whole is probably worth around $15,000. To date I currently do not have anything invested into it though (buying pieces and reselling them have completely paid for it all it plus an extra couple grand in my pocket). I have thinned out allot of the pieces that I know I can easily replace in the future and am down to more valuable and rare pieces for the most part.
So my question is should I sell off the pieces to help pay down some of my student loan debt? (it is currently ~ $35,000 and my mortgage is the only other debt I currently have). I do not make a whole lot of money and by my calculation if I don't sell it will probably be at least 4 years until my student loans are paid off. Knowing if I do sell I will probably never find some of these pieces again unless these come back up for sale.
I have gone back and forth with this for a while know and was wondering what all your thoughts are.
Thank You all for your time,
