<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1295155, member: 13650&quot;]To a point, I can understand this.&nbsp;&nbsp; If the family doesn&#039;t need their tvs, another couch, another kitchen table and chairs, ok.&nbsp;&nbsp; That makes sense.&nbsp; You may as well sell it.&nbsp; But anything that&#039;s valuable that is easy to store and can increase greatly in value with time, I don&#039;t understand.&nbsp;&nbsp; Not to mention possible sentimental value.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; A valuable collection of anything (granted, that&#039;s easily stored.&nbsp; I can see how a family may not be able to store a collection of cars or something that takes up entire rooms) represents family wealth to me.&nbsp; &nbsp; If it&#039;s sold cheap so somebody could go on vacation or pay the rent for a couple months, then that wealth is permanently removed from the family.&nbsp; And the person still has the same issue(s) 6 months from now.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It may have taken years to accumulate and family members are willing to blow it in a month.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then it&#039;s gone, most likely never to return.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I understand you want people to enjoy life but at what cost?&nbsp;&nbsp; Sell a $30k collection so somebody can have a dream wedding?&nbsp;&nbsp; Just an example but I&#039;m sure it happens.&nbsp;&nbsp; Insanity IMO.&nbsp; &nbsp; I always think, if you sell an ounce of silver for say, $35.&nbsp; What can you buy in return with the $35 that can increase in value, is easily stored and can easily be passed down and saved?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The $35 cash itself can&#039;t do that.&nbsp; &nbsp; There isn&#039;t much worth buying out there to make it worth selling that ounce of silver.&nbsp; So buy the other stuff with new cash.&nbsp; Not the old.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;That&#039;s just my take on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
