Subject: Re[2]: Who might want my collections (but not yet!)?
It's hard to GIVE collections away!
I could will it all in a will, but then my executioner is stuck with
getting it
OUT. Physically disposing of all of the old computer
magazines, etc. will
cost more in time and effort (for which she will need to be compensated)
then she will be willing to deal with.
What is a stack of untested ST-4096s worth? NO, she is NOT going to test
them in order to get "full value" for the ones that work.
When I closed my business, there were only a few people who would come
get things. Sellam hauled away quite a few cubic yards of stuff.
I need to move out of my [jamful] office at the college, when I retire at
the
end of this semester.
I have several cubic yards of goodies to get rid of.
But, "Free Pickup In Berkeley" doesn't work!
When I list a handful of items, people want me to ship it to them.
Half never reimburse me the postage!
I'm swamped, exhausted, ill, caring for my even more incapacitated 90 year
old mother, and unable to get done what NEEDS to be done.
I can not deal with packing each item one at a time, and PAYING to get rid
of them.

I love the typo for "executor" :-)
I can see that it might be a problem getting rid of stuff, but if it is
worth keeping it must be worth shipping, it would be a shame just to dump
it. I find it disappointing to see that people don't reimburse the shipping,
could you not insist on payment up front plus a bit extra for the time and
effort?
