[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1293378, member: 26729"]I am having second thoughts about leaving loose ends for my family. My father passed and left a HUGE Coke products collection and stamp collection. It has been a nightmare dealing with all of it. Don't get me wrong, I have the Coke collection 75% liquidated and it brought in big money, but I wouldn't wish this effort on my loved ones. The variable that can't be overlooked though is timing. One can pass at any moment, so it's not like I might have the option of doing it myself when the end is near. If I know it's coming, I will give away what is wanted, then sell the rest myself, but that is a luxury to hope for, not a plan. I guess what I am saying is that I am beginning to feel it's kind of selfish to leave your family in the position of having to fret over a collection after you are gone. Chances are they won't have the same passion or knowledge, yet they will have major worry trying to deal with it and dispose of it, no matter how easy you try to make it. Just my .02... Thinking aloud more or less.[/QUOTE]
