30 year-old jelly... that's a scary thought.

Unless I had some sort of special attachment to the toy I'm fairly indifferent. I often go through a lot of things I own and throw out old damaged stuff or things I no longer have any use for.

I've only had to throw away one toy so far and it was because it was broken and I was indifferent about it. Sucked that the toy was such a terrible toy.

Pretty much indifferent. If I'm tossing it I either hated it or it's totaled. If it's something I don't want to live without (lookin' at you Hitachi...) chances are I've already ordered a new one.

I just started out but as I upgrade to better things I don't think it will effect me either way to get rid of old stuff.

If they are still good I hate throwing them away, I'd rather give them away if they are cleanable.

It kind of makes me sad...but you have to make room for the new ones!

There are some that I regret getting rid of... It was mostly because, at the time, I felt like I shouldn't be collecting such things and I was a bit ashamed. Sigh.
Sometimes I look at my current collection and ask myself which ones I would be first to dispose of... Luckily, most of them don't even make the list.

I would feel wasteful if I threw any more away like I did before. I would sooner ship them to somebody (as they're all boilable and bleachable) than dispose of them.

Very sad. I get attached to my personal belongings.

Getting rid of my old toys doesn't bug me. If it's getting thrown out, then it hasn't been serving its purpose and just becomes a space waster.

I don't think I really feel anything. It's like spring cleaning.. I do what I have to do!

I was going through my toys and noticed that the favorite vibe was broken. It was my first one and now no more. But its back on my wishlist and next time I order I will be getting it.

We go through toy once a year and its no big deal.

Not quite nostalgic but not indifferent either. I feel bad about getting rid of things that I don't use, but I also feel bad that things don't get used and just sit there and waste space. I try to find new homes for my things first, and then go from there.

I haven't ever done a collection cleanup, but I can think of an item I recently got as a free gift that's defective and won't wrk, so throwing that out wouldn't make me sad at all. Maybe just disappointed that it didn't work in the first place, but I don't want there to be nonfunctioning items in my collection anyway, so I'd probably feel better after getting rid of it (and then use the loss to justify another EF order!)

out with the old, in with the new.

It depends how well it performed. If it was a good toy and something broke on it or its worn out, its sad. But if it was crap to begin with I have no problems sending it on its way.

I'd never throw away something unless it was beyond repair broken, I can't believe people would just throw away useable toys!

If it has served me well I can be slightly sad to see it go but usually they have been replaced with something better or broken.

If I'm getting rid of it, then I'm more than likely over it.

Doesn't hurt me unless it was expensive.

I just did this! I've been on a major spring cleaning kick, going through things and getting rid of stuff I just don't need or use anymore. Sex toys got the same treatment - I got rid of a lot, and felt great about it! Now they're not taking up valuable space anymore!

Usually it makes me sad only because it either failed or I hate it or it broke.

I am really sad because I spent a lot of money on those things, and some of them I really loved so it's kind of upsetting to have to toss them out.

If I'm chucking a toy away, it's because it's broken or made from bad material so I don't feel bad about it.
