I thought I'd get it all out in a year or so. It's been 7 years and I'm still at it, with no real end in sight. Granted I haven't been working on it diligently, and I still ended up with 40 pallets of stuff after the Great Vintage Computing Heist of 2012, but disgorging a large collection is in fact a major undertaking, unless you're willing to sell it all at one price, and can find such a buyer to take it in one lot.
