I too almost sold my airplane a few years back. But my heart wasn't into it. I wasn't flying much and thought I should sell it if I wasn't going to fly it. I had a couple parties interested but one thing I never was, was hostile or negative in any way. The buyers lost internest once seeing my airplane I think because it has original paint and interior is average. I am glad though that I did not sell it. Last year I joined this club and have been reading this forum almost everyday since December. That had really put the interest and motivation back into my flying. I am flying more now than I have ever did. The only thing I wish the snow would go away. I am getting tired of digging my plane out of the snow and using blankets, preheater and etc. Spring can not come soon enough. I know this doesn't have too much to do with the search for new plane. Just thought I would add my 2 cents
