I don’t buy for the purpose of reselling later but it’s nice to know something has gone up in value. Don’t think there’s anything wrong with enjoying the fact that one/some of your stuff is worth a good chunk of change. When I lost my previous job in 2019, the value of my collection, and what it sold for at the time, is what helped keep me afloat for quite awhile. So, it can definitely help when your excess stuff hasn't completely dropped to the bottom of the barrel 
Not everyone keeps everything they ever bought, either. Collecting interests change overtime for a lot of ppl. If you’ve never changed your mind about something you’ve ever purchased then that’s great! Definitely jealous of those that haven’t
However, I’ve seen ppl on the board just say they’ll put something back in its box never to display it again rather than selling it. That’s their prerogative, but that doesn’t make much sense to me. I personally don’t like having stuff just sitting in boxes just because I can’t be bothered to sell it. If I don’t want something anymore, I get rid of it and that goes for all things I’ve purchased, not just collectibles. For InArt Joker, I’m waiting for the right time and the how (meaning as a whole or parted out).
Purging, or, at the very least, pruning the collection every now and then can also be a bit cathartic when it’s gotten a little out of hand. We’ve seen it a lot of times on this board that some folks are happier when they’ve refocused, prioritized, and/or removed the excess.
Nothing wrong with either approach though. We’re all different
