Since I have a short attention span, I did something similiar after a year of playing. Then came back, and did it again. And came back again (I guess I like to torture myself with the same first 30ish levels).
The only difference is I did a I'm-quitting-the-game-and-not-coming-back Sale (twice). It was a fun 15 minutes...I send a shout every couple of minutes (once I restock my bazaar) and sell the equip for, say, 500 gil for a Noble's Ribbon, or a couple hundred for Pearl Rings. In the end I had a nice little crowd around me hoping for more.
After all was said and done, I gave like 80k to some noob walking by, just cause I wish someone could have done that for me when starting (then starting again, and again).
That's all I wanted to say.
