What makes you think that? Some rich guy may buy a
whole computer
so he can get another keyboard to hang on the wall with the rest
of his keyboard collection. And scrap the rest.
Always possible. Better chance of being saved than when a recycler buys
the rest.
Seriously folks: Paul was a great guy but from the POV of his estate
he's just another hoarder. And unless your "museum" has proper
incorporation, documentation, and a trust or something behind it to
survive the owner's death, it's just another hoard as well.
And when you're cleaning up after a hoarder's death there isn't time to
go through every item and lovingly find a home for it. Especially if
it's yor Dad's collection of used Pinball machine parts. (so to speak)
Nor is there really much of an economic incentive: While $10,000 for an
that RS08 on Ebay may seem like a lot of "value" to us, at a certain
wealth point that's not really worth the time to stop on the street to
pick up. So you just junk it to save time.
That's just life.
