It does, effect one to part with some things that have so many memories. Today I parted with a few guns that I Know I will never take to the field again. They put a lot of
  food on the table and so many lastings memories with buddies no longer to go a field with. It was hard but the kind of things one should not leave for another to do. I still have a few I can not bring myself to part with as they are special and some I can still put game on the table with the best of hunters. The strange part is they are years old like me and bought when times and money were very dear but today they sold for three times what I paid then and some much more. 
Strange feelings and thoughts of does that mean as we age are we worth more now than before ??
