I will never sell any of my Ukes..I buy them to play them and when I do get too old to play(that may be sooner than later) I plan to gift them to someone who will enjoy them the same way I do..
only my 2 cents
I hope you play them for another 40 years!! You can be the next Bill Tapia

Hey Daniel..you on my list,I way older than you lol
What is this "sell" of which you speak?
Actually, I've given away more instruments than I've sold. I don't think I've sold any guitars, none that I can think of anyway, but I've given a few away. I've sold I think exactly one uke (my KoAloha concert after I got a KoAloha longneck soprano) and the rest that have left my hands have been given away.
Mostly I'm too lazy to deal with selling them; taking the pictures, playing twenty questions with folks who aren't really planning to buy anyway, packing them to ship, worrying about whether they arrive safely, worry about whether the new owner feels like they got a fair shake, etc., etc.
When you give them away you don't have to worry about any of that!
Oh, and to answer the original question, no, I've never regretted letting them leave the stable.

and the best to me..people sell there best sounding most beautiful ukes ??
Heh, heh. Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes people do run into a financial situation where they need a lot of cash quickly and I can see in that case it makes sense to sell the instruments that are going to move quickly and bring significant cash - but sometimes it seems like every listing is for "my favorite ukulele - I'm only selling it because I don't play it" - seems kind of an oxymoron, to me.
If you hang out in the marketplace long enough you also see some of those (often beautiful) ukes change hands quite a few times...at that point you have to sit back and go...ya know, I don't think I want that one... LOL
