Income taxes ~ sell collections of books cards CD/records guitar, do I pay State/Federal income Tax?

[toppscore]

Hi. I've decided to sell my collections of books,

sport cards, CDs, records, guitars, sheet music, etc.

I'd end up selling most all at a loss.   I do not have a buying

or purchasing business as all items purchased during the

past thirty years were/are for my personal collections.

If I sell personal belongings, do I pay taxes even if my items

are sold below what I paid for? for a loss? 

Talking aboutCalifornia state income and Federal income taxes.  

Thanks for your help.
