<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 715413, member: 4552&quot;]Here is one more situatioin that always brings me to thinking about just selling off everything before it&#039;s to late. </p><p>A neighbor and good friend passed away some years back. He was a small arms instructor in the Army and had accumulated a massive amount of firearams, ammunition, reloading equipment and lots, lots more. He got me interested in firearms by taking me to gun shows in the area and soon enough I too started collecting and using them. He developed Cancer and eventually it got to him as he passed away. His wife and other relatives had no interest in any of his STUFF. I had married in the meantime and had moved away and didn&#039;t know what was about to happen. The family called in a gun store, personal from the store came over, made an offer for $1,000 and they took it. Possibly many hundreds of thousands of dollars all went for one thousand dollars. Many of his collection were WW2 guns in fantastic condition. </p><p>This is just one thing that usually happens with valuable items. If you watch the TV show The Antique Road Show, many times you&#039;ll hear of people buying or even finding items or great value. Many times at garage/yard/estate sales where someone passed away and the relatives just want to get rid of the STUFF.</p><p>It is sad to think of some of the coins I have had for over 60 years ending up in a banks counting machine. I&#039;m sure this has already happened to many collectors of coins as well as other collections.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
