I'm an ebayer (buyer as well as seller) so I'm always seeing what is fetching $$$. If it is something I can easily get again in the future (like an eventual blu-ray or cd re-release) I'll sell if it is fetching a premium.
For my books, I pretty much only have 1st editions or really early editions, which it comes to my fiction. But even there, I had at one point bought so many that I never read them and it was just ridiculous. Over the last few years I've sold off a good bit, taking time in work during lunch to read. What makes me a little sad is that many books I thought I'd love (say, since I loved their films, like a Ninth Gate, etc) I ended up not liking the novels and sold them off...even though they were really nice collectible editions.
But I came to the realization a while ago that I only have finite space, so my collections must always fit in my home nicely. Selling off is a must.

I'm the same way. Anytime something I own rises in value I look at what net profit I can make and then ask myself if I would at that moment in time pay that value for the item. The answer is almost always no. Then it gets sold.
