<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nyatii, post: 3685647, member: 85686&quot;]I have watched six estates not go the way they were intended, even though they had wills. Everything went to the wrong people. Several estates in the millions. </p><p>One of the biggest was a friend who just couldn&#039;t let go even though he knew his time was very short. His 11+ million dollar estate ended up being cashed in by his stepdaughter who he hated and wouldn&#039;t allow in the house. His son and daughter both received about $250K. His wife received nothing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another&#039;s wife sold his 200+ collectible guns for little or nothing to a man my friend hated. Same with his 16 vintage Corvettes. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve tried to counsel my family about what some of my vast ecliptic stash is worth, and how to research and dispose of it. Their eyes glaze over and they lose interest. And, they really don&#039;t have any idea about the value of most of my things. </p><p>Coins, Guns, race parts, antiques......</p><p><br /></p><p>Heck. Even I get surprised. Just yesterday I found in one of my boxes, two vintage new in the package Hurst Shifter T-Handles...gold velvet.....was offered $300 for the pair and passed. Found out they are $200-250 each. </p><p><br /></p><p>The problem has always been that I collect things I like, and when I take them out to sell, I start playing with them and realize why I like them so much....so I put them back away. Well, this year is different. It finally dawned on me to hurry up and start getting rid of the majority while I can. I started giving items to those that I want to have them and know will appreciate them. I have ads on Craigslist, Armslist, and Gunbroker. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a race to the finish......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
