Ditching a collection is a full time job. It took you so many years to put it together and it will take the same amount of time to part it out if you expect to get any real money out of it (unless you sell the most wanted items and recycle the rest). -----Original Message----- From: brad via cctalk Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2024 12:01 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Cc: brad Subject: [cctalk] Re: Revocable Living Trust for Computer Collectors I have thought about this a lot.. and as I begin to creep into my 50s and experience real aging and the health issues that sometimes come with that, I am giving serious thought to liquidating well before I die. Even at very conservative average ebay values I've got a lot of money tied up in this mess. I don't even want to think what I've spent to have FedEx make their best attempts at parcel destruction over the years.I don't want to leave it to my family to dispose of all this stuff at a future time when possibly my generation is shuffling off this world and prices start to crater, as I suspect they will for most of it eventually. I can see some GenZ and on down taking an interest in vintage machines but not nearly enough to hold up a price floor.It's either that or instruct they be entombed in my mausoleum with me, for the enjoyment of future grave robbers/treasure hunters.BSent from my Galaxy -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com
