I don't plan to sell all my mugs, but I do want to pare down my collection by a lot. I've had most of these mugs for six or seven years and in that time my tastes have changed. I drink an awful lot more wine than rum, for example, and I find that I rarely take time to enjoy my mugs, much less to dust them. They deserve a new home with an owner who will appreciate them more than I do now.

As for the second comment, prices definitely have softened for mugs. It's a good time to be buying, in my opinion. Even the 'common' mugs I have listed right now are not easy to find anymore. Curiously, it seems that new mugs are commanding higher prices than old ones, which makes no sense to me at all.

Finally, it's a lot of work to list these things. I still have at least as many mugs to sell as are now listed on ebay. If bidding is lackluster, I might just pack up the rest until there is more interest.
