It’s time to sacrifice this piece in the name of progression. You are mature, and you know that his piece will provide the means to make your current collection more spectacular in every fashion. It’s so hard to let go. You think twice, but it’s a necessary evil. It’s time to sell in order to upgrade your collection.
