Well i must say i always look at it from the angle that if i sell gear it can finance other gear , more aimed at my current interest . So if one buys and sells wisely one can keep shuffling the deck , so to speak at minimal expense but with maximum effect.
I've done that for many years. Sell one, buy one...
But initially I only had one to begin with, so how my collection grew is also great to see some time down the line.
Another thing I have decided in the last years was to stay out of guitar shops. I can easily find something to buy nowadays as there's so many excellent guitars out there, and for once I can afford them!! But through my sell-to-finance-new dealings throughout the years I have at times regretted sales. Or you buy something you "really want" just to end up selling it a year later.
I've also started trimming the fat the last years and bringing my collection down to a manageable quantity, although space will always be an issue.
One Acoustic (Washburn, only 24 made worldwide)
Three electrics.
If my house-buying is successful, I will probably buy two more electrics in due time. Aside from playing them, the electrics are also in my twisted mind, pieces of art. So I will be walling them. So I still need two shapes to complete my small collection of legendary guitar shapes. Silly, I know.
