What to do with gear I dont use...?

I have been playing a long while and in that time I have amassed a few very nice guitars in both electric and acoustic flavours. While I used to be very keen on electric and play in band, these days I find I play almost nothing but acoustic. So I have 4 really nice electric guitars that never get played and two acoustics that get a daily session. It seems to me I may be better off selling or trading in two or three of those electrics and getting another really nice acoustic that will get played? What do you folks think? Will i regret getting rid of my electric gear? I would also not know how to choose which guitars to move on and which to keep. But I also do kinda want another acoustic too...which is probably what got me thinking along these lines.

Have posted an ad already.

Some great guitars you have there at great prices, S&N.

Hey there guys. So I did sell a guitar after all and have decided to do the same again.
I am gonna try sell my strat ☹

She's a 50th anniversary american ash strat (I think it was a limited series) with the 50th anni tweed case. Two-tone sunburst, maple fretboard, lock tuners and retrofit graphtech saddles(I have the originals).Also got strap locks fitted (scahllers I think?)

My question is, how much is a fair price to ask for this guitar?

I actually find it therapeutic when I sell guitars. Kind of like the cleansing of the soul kinda deal.......lol.

When I buy them, they rock and when guido does a set-up on it, they rock even more. Then I twitch, I want to upgrade, be it pups, wiring and pots. I then see another guitar that feels even nicer in stock pre-set up stage than my old one, so the process starts all over again. Result at the end of the day is that I get to play a lot of different makes and also note that not all guitars are created equal.

Keeping an open mind and selling on the herd every now and then has exposed me to some real gems.

With pedals now I have decided not to sell them on anymore though and am keeping them for days when I'm in the mood to try something different. Plus, I'm sick of hagglers and lowballers deep sixing a deal over a few bucks because I'm not negotiable on an already cheap price.

Yeah I actually resolved this very very smoothly and happily. Ended up selling my Les Paul (with all the mods) to a great friend of mine. We both got a good deal, I raised the dollar I needed (or some of it) and he is gonna use the guitar (which I was not doing)...

WIN WIN WIN WIN

and I get to keep my strat ?
