Several years ago I was off work for 2 yrs,after 1 yr my accumulated sick leave and unemployment sick benefits ran out and we went a full year with only my wife's income.We came awfully close to losing the house but my wife wouldn't hear of me parting with any of my guitars knowing that besides family they were the things I treasured most.In our darkest hour a light suddenly appeared at the end of the tunnel and we finally got back on our feet.I would sell a kidney before I'd sell a guitar,they may just things or inanimate objects to many but to me they each possess a soul at least metaphorically.

If #1 is all you have then I say "No." If #1 can get you some nice coin and you can get b with #2, then #1 just became expendable.
