Well I just boxed up 3 of my MJ appreciation rooms in my house and all my collectors items and posters etc are going to have to go on ebay, I am only keeping y most prized objects as I am getting very depressed from everything, I have 2 more rooms to box up and then I am going to try find some new purpose to my life, I'm sad I have to do this but it's my only escape.

has any one else felt depressed when they see their collection like I am doing?

I was never a collector like that but I don't see the wisdom or purpose in someone parting with a collection. If you'll just hold on, realize that this is the beginning, the shock-after-shock phase you're in, you may avoid the regret you may experience 2 or 4 or 15 years from now. In fact, since you're that kind of collector, you will be surprised and gratified to see the posters of MJ being sold out there, the ones fans on these boards have, its just amazing. The world is finally seeing the side of Michael you see. Instead of getting rid of your collection, why not make it grow by adding to it, the posters from this most pivotal moment in an MJ fan's life. That moment of being asked by his legacy and his memory, to carry on the good fight, promote the things he promoted, allow the things you have collected to inspire you later. Or at least give yourself time to see, by maybe putting them all in an enourmous box and placing a beautiful cloth over it sort of like a shrine - or something to calm you down - before you throw it all away. Just my 2cw. Whatever you do - - (((hug))) my heart is with you. I feel your pain. By the way - new music will eventually be released. I see no reason to leave Michael now. We ain't seen nothin' yet!
 
My whole room is like a neverland. Yes it makes me sad to look at right now but no I will never get rid of my collection. Its very precious to me and I want to keep my room just as it is, an MJ room. I want to keep adding to it.

I'm half considering this myself. It's been over a week and I'm just as depressed as ever.

You're room sounds neat!!
 
oh its great :) Hopefully I can take some pictures and show you all
Michael would like it :)
 
Make sure you think it through before you do it, I know if I was in your position I'd keep it, I'd be really afraid of regretting it.

Good luck, though. x
 
I'm sure that this is a really emotional time for you, and maybe you really do need to sell the items to feel like you can move on. I just hope that you don't regret it after some time has allowed the wounds to heal.
 
woah. sorry for saying this but it sounds weird. Maybe it doenst make sense to you, but I bought this bracelet, it's one of those lucky bracelets you know 2/3 weeks before he, you know. I havent took it off since I bought, its like, when I look at it, I think '' hey, I'm wearing this when he was still alive, and I AIN'T takin it off either''. It reminds me of him, its hard, but the things you have must be a part of you as a fan too. wether they're expensive or not. I know you most go on, we all do, its hard tho but still, you gotta be proud when you see him. you shouldnt only think that he's gone now, no, you have to think of all great things he did in his life, and for us.

I still, don't know if it makes sense since my english isn't that good, but I the best I could to tell you, keep those things in your house!
 
We're all overwhelmed with our emotions right now, feeling we need to do something to ease our pain. I completely understand that seeing the stuff is causing you unbearable pain. I still haven't been able to listen to MJ music yet.

I have a few MJ things, but not that many. I think if I had a big collection like you, I would store the stuff out of sight for a time, say a month or so. See how I feel then. This is not a time to make rash decisions, upset as we are, as our judgment risks being irrational, based purely on emotion.
 
If you can't handle seeing them right now, by all means box your stuff up, but don't get rid of it completely. Your heart will heal eventually. This is only a temporary fix that I'm afraid you will grow to regret. Your life still has plenty meaning. Keeping Michael's legacy alive through memory, including your prized memorabilia should give you new meaning.

I agree! I think you will regret it!
 
You'll certainly regret it. I'm keeping my collection and my autographed memorabilia hand signed by Michael since it's the closest thing I still have to him. Though he'll always be with me in my heart, I just want something I can hold onto and pass on to my family when I pass away.
 
Don't do it man!
You sound like you have a mint of MJ memoribilia that would've taken years to accumulate. The presence of them is probably a burden to you but i assure you you will regret this. These items aren't just items but benchmarks of your past in accordance with Michael. To throw these out may help you ease the pain, but i personally think that you should just ' store ' these somewhere else rather than sell them.
 
Getting rid of them is NOT moving on. I think it just says how much you are not moving on....please keep them...just store them away where you can't see them but please keep them.
xxox
 
i understand where youre coming from and having talked with other fans who sold their collections on ebay its not uncommon for fans who are doing this. for some the thought of looking at their collections now has become unbearable but i think its a good idea that youre keeping some of your most prized mj items because sometimes fans get rid of everything and then later regret it. your story is one i think will become only more common as the years pass as more and more fans move on with their lives in the wake of mj's death.

You will regret it. About 3 years ago I sold a part of my collection and I regret doing it now. Mine is all boxed up, but at least I have it. I can understand that looking at a collection all day would be sad, but my advise is to at least box it up for now, don't sell it. You will certainly regret it, trust me! Sometimes I think about buying the items again that I sold. :(
 
ahw man, donttttt. you will actually regret it. i dont have a big collection, but its still growing as i keep adding stuff to it almost everyday. i find comfort in looking at my collection and purchasing new items.
but hey....thats just me.
 
I thought about doing the same thing....sorta, I was going to send some of my MJ stuff to my parents since they don't have any, but I know at some point I will regret getting rid of it.

It is difficult to look at, but maybe in a year, I can look at it and have a happy smile instead of a sad smile.
 
Vengeance, I wouldn't sell your collection, wouldn't it better to box your collection up but keep it until you feel strong enough to get it out again. Your heart will heal eventually, it may feel at the moment it never will, but it will, time is a great healer and as time goes on you may regret selling your collection. :huggy:
 
Ok you've posted this a long ago but in case you're still thinking...

I agree with this. Just throw your stuff to attict or something but don't get rid of it permanently. You just might regret it someday..
 
I'll never let him go, he lives inside me he lives through me
 
I wouldn't get rid of it! Hope you haven't :) But if you are, let us know the Ebay links so we can bid..!! Lol *joke*
 
If I had as many collectables as you do, I would not sell them on eBay. In five or so years time, you'll want to look at all of your Michael Jackson things just to remember that five years ago you sold them all on eBay.
You might regret this, just think it through. :)
 
ive got an idea.:wink:you can send your collections to me.i will keep it for you since you dont wanna take a look at them right now.
and whenever you feel better,i will give them back to you,you still own them.
Does it work?^^
 
Don't get rid of you stuff. Just keep it somewhere else in your house, but don't part with it. You may come to regret it. HUGS!
 
i can get that you want to save more precious items, alot of collectors get to that point. but because michael died, does not mean you have to stop collecting. being upset now you do not want to look at his things, but i think...like others have said you will regret it. its nice to have a michael room, even one. and sometimes collecting makes you feel good in a way, i cant describe it.
