Going going gone!

So given that this is to be the year of frugal gaming, I've been in the curious position of selling more on e-bay than I've bought, what's more I've usually made a profit! It has to be said that there is something cathartic about admitting to oneself that the plans you had made to game certain periods in certain scales where never going to come to fruition.
I think the epiphany came when I allowed myself to admit that I don't like scales other than 28mm. Although I can see the use of 6mm for moderns or massed combat, I think I can now accept that I'm never going to get someone to game waterloo with me in 6mm as it would take forever whichever set of rules we used. I think that I need to set my sights on not having more troops for each army than I can use in a game that lasts 4 hours. This is an time based on my son's attention span, since in the last 3 years he's been my only opponent (excluding the time he and my brother double teamed me).
So I'll be clearing out a lot of stuff on ebay (search for jenkii3) and who know's you may find a bargain or two.
