I understand you can sell it, but what if it's early in the game and you don't have anything else to sell with it?

My situation dealt with the Jollyboat from Booty. It was dealt to me at the opening and I put it down. A few hands later, I got a better ship that didn't have the BIG item stipulation and wanted to get rid of it. My wife took pity on me and used a curse that got rid of a big item.

That's the conundrum of BIG items...if you play them, you only get one in play, and if you later pull another, you have to sell or curse yourself to get rid of the one that's in play in order to play the other.

Or you hope you draw a Dwarf race card or some other card that lets you carry an additional BIG item.
