Just put some goodies (including Elspeth and foil Elspeth) up on ebay last night. Those have been in my binder for a long time.

I find that your collection's form should best fit how you like to play Magic.For example, I can't play FNM locally due to the hours I work. I can, however, play sanctioned Legacy on the weekends, and there's always someone around later on Friday that I can drop in and play eternal formats with casually. So naturally, my collection and trading habits veer away from standard chase rares and towards eternal format staples. It was a no-brainer for me to earlier this year unload about $300 worth of Alara block chase rares/mythics when given the chance..Everyone I think has a sort of set of conditions, dictated both by their local collection of players and by their own personal set of constraints, that determine what kind of unused "potential energy" is in their trade binder. They are probably hanging on to them out of some belief that the cards round out their collection in some sort. In reality, they should instead realize that sacred cows make great steaks, and start trading rarely used stuff as openly as they would anything else.
