Hi folks,
This question came into my mind today. After many years of collecting, buying And assembling your Precious collection, what will you do to them if you know that you're gonna pass on soon? What if your children, if any, does not appreciate them at all? I kept visualizing my kids pawning my collection On pawn stars and being paid for a miserable amount of money. Even worse, they being thrown into the dumpster as worthless plastics. What's your views? |

Ya, if i knew i was gonna die, i would put together some of my best stuff, enuff to fill one foot locker, one for each person in my family, and would tell them, this is for your furture, if you decide to sell, sell one at a time for the highest amount, the rest of my collection, i would sell off, and take my whole family on a big trip around the world.

I figure I'll be entombed with my collection and a bunch of mummified cats like an Egyptian pharaoh. That whole "sucking my brain out through my nose" deal is kind of a turn-off, though.

Maybe there will be grave robbers just like ancient egyptian time.
I'm sure they will be going after the gold steel brigade? |

No clear idea...I'm hoping to have a kid to hand off to but that hasn't worked out so far.

I will laugh at people who think their Joe collection will pay for their family's future, that's what.

Well, honestly, I'd be dead so it's not like I'm gonna miss them when I'm 6 ft under.
If I had a friend that I knew that still collected and that I knew would take care of the collection, I would will it to him/her.

My family definitely know my collection is worth $$ and shall sell accordingly if they wish to.
My younger brother would perhaps keep some Star Wars gear but Joe would likely be sold off. I am happy either way as long as someone in the family gets cash to use for something they want,once I am gone the collection will not help me any all together. |

You know what they say:
He who dies with the most toys, still dies.
