I'm still working this out. It'll be fee based, including maybe some kind

how the expenses are going to be paid, and I imagine in a typical case the
fees to disgorge the collection will come from the sale of the collection
itself.

Regardless I think Sellam is on to something
here, there is need for a
service to manage the vintage computing collections of this who are not
predisposed to do so themselves. At a minimum an objective consultation
and report produced by an educated appraiser of vintage computing /
electronics that can be referenced by the collector's surviving family.
Something that says, here is what you have, here are your options.

I'm interested in this, but..
- How would they be compensated?
- How would it be ensured that they didn't have a conflict of interest,
or bias, (or an actual interest in the collection)?
- How much would such a service cost, or be priced?
