I sell them and them pine for them and build another. They are piling up nicely.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

I build for myself and I have a really hard time parting with pedals. Most of the time I rather they sit unused than not having them anymore. I am learning to let go... but its hard.

Right there with you..... Except for the learning to let go part.

I think my favourite build of all time turned out to be a build that my wife looked at and said, didn't you build that like 3 years ago?

I had.

Build to try, decide if like, sell if not
Build with the intention of selling

That's a solid philosophy.

I have done all of the above, though I rarely sell for what they're actually worth. Cause the build time is therapeutic, maybe I need to start charging for my therapy...

I have 5 compressors.  I don't really use or even like compressors.

If you're just going to burn the steak, can I eat it instead? I'd hate to see a good steak go to waste.

This! You need a choice for "all of the above" added to the list...

I've got a big green shopping bag full of damn pedals next to the speaker cab in the living room. Selling them is a pita, cos DIY'ed pedals are hard to flog off.

I'm trying to cut back on pedal builds. This synth thing might be good for that.

I really just thought that burning him at the stake was a bit much, and burning his steak seemed a much more mild punishment. You could eat his steak, but the mob probably won't like you.

I have built somewhere around 25 pedals.  I have given away 3-4, never sold any.  I have a large and a small pedal board fully loaded (plus several boxes of completed pedals).  But at this point I play guitar only for my own enjoyment.  Last year I played 3 shows backing a friend, but those were on bass.

I used to work at a restaurant that I think was frequented by some mob guys.  Unfortunately, I don't remember that place serving steak, so I am not sure how interested in it they were.
