I was thinking of this today - I want to sell a bunch of my bags so it will lessen the price of the new bag.... then I was thinking of how much my collection is worth - probably thousands. and imagine an LV collector - OMG!
If you could sell ALL of your LV bags for full retail value, would you?

I would not and my collection literally consists of one clutch (or makeup bag, however you look at it), a coin pouch a Speedy - all purchased in the 1980s! The things I own are so sentimental and I have a hard time imagining them with someone else. Plus, I also have that nagging feeling in the back of my head, what if I'll want to wear one of these one day and I won't have it!?
I just sold my DE Neverfull MM and although everyone rants and raves about it, it just wasn't working for me. I do have some memories with that bag and maybe I'll miss it one day, but right now I think it's better off with someone else who really really wanted that bag. And let's just say I didn't get nearly what I paid for it but oh well, I'm still happy.
I wouldn't sell all of my bags even if I could get full price back for them, but I would be more inclined to sell the ones that I am on the fence about whether to keep or sell right now. For example, I have one bag that I'm thinking of getting rid of, but I like it (only reason why I don't need it anymore is that I got another bag that serves the same function), but my return if I sell is too low for me to go through with it since I still love the bag very much
Hell yes! I wear my bags for a year or two and then I sell them on ebay. Full price for my entire collection would allow me to turn around and buy the more expensive styles...I am not that attached to my handbags. However, my jewelry collection is a different story!

There are a few I wouldn't mind parting with, but the rest of my collection have already been promised to my LV loving little girl.
I think it depends on the situation. Some of my purses (including non-LV) have sentimental value so I wouldn't sell them for that reason. If for some reason I really needed the money I would probably sell the LVs, but I would avoid it at all costs if I could because of the memories associated with the bags.
