Too much stuff

I've got too much stuff, a lot of it completely unpainted or unfinished. I've made a list. So far the inventory covers just the land forces, and it's by no means fully detailed. As I intend to keep this list of shame updated, I've added it as a page (Periods & Scales) to the top menu.

I intend to sell off the stuff I least want and, if I can, work on the unfinished stuff I most want to keep, theoretically meeting somewhere in the middle. 

eBay used to be the obvious place to go to sell off wargames figures, but I've seen very negative reviews recently. Selling stuff at shows is possibly better, but will take a lot longer.

The only figures I'm going to buy in future will be WoFun standees, painted 3D figures (if the temptation arises) or maybe unpainted 2mm/3mm models that could be finished relatively quickly.

Consolidating my figure collection follows on from the great purge of my library, an ongoing process I started over six years ago. The book purge has made life more manageable, and there's nothing I regret getting rid of.

The immediate problem with the figures is that many of these are stacked two-layers deep so I can't immediately see everything I've got at a glance. So the first step is to send more books to charity shops so I can spread the figure boxes out. As I said, I've got too much stuff.
