I've sometimes considered it, but:

• For most of them most (well over half) of the fun is in doing it myself

• I don't know where to get good freelancers; a half-arsed job would be much more annoying than just having an unfinished project.

• Some of them are partly or all hardware projects adding logistical complexity to hiring a freelancer.

Plus I have rather too many in-flight projects so the total cost would be too much to finish them all; presumably people without this problem are actually on track to finish their projects without needing another pair of hands :D

For people looking to turn their side-projects into a business I guess the calculus would be rather different though.
