What happens to your collection when you're gone?

[Arteis]

If my family were to sell off my collection after I pass away, their biggest problem would be post and packing.  It would be a horrendous task!  

But restricting to pick-ups only would mean a fairly limited pool of potential buyers.  In fact, probably no buyers at all, judging by the number of attractive but unsold armies I spotted on the second-hand table at a local convention the other day.

I suspect the terracotta army remarks are not intended to be serious, and inferring psychological motives like meglomania might be giving them a significance they do not warrant  :

 

No no, I can assure you I am intent on world domination.

abolutely - everything I write on the internet is deadly serious
after all, I do have a german passport - I have exchanged it for my sense of humour...

if I behave I might qualify for a Swiss upgrade

It'll be Michael's problem, unless he goes before me or with me.  If he goes first, I keep them 'til I die. Then they're his brother's problem. If we go together, they're still his brother's problem.

See? Problem solved.

At least you'd get a nice knife with lots of modelling gadgets......

I could never pay that much.... Wink

I understand that there are several LAFers willing to fund this for us, fairly desparately judging by the PMs I have received.......

[former user]

let me get this straight, You are issuing german passports in exchange for sense of humour?

You are getting this wrong, it is not a matter of choice...

And the ability to dance.

As to the original question, I have no doubt that assuming my kid's didn't want it, my wife would give it all to my gaming buddies.  We socialize with most of them and their wives, so it would be the most natural thing. I think maybe I should go through and loosely catalog what I have though, to make it easier for them.

There's ALOT to dig through.

There are a lot of people who would give their collection to their gaming buddies.

And I am not sure I understand that. If I go before my time, it will probably involve some or all of my gaming buddies and they will probably go to. Blaze of glory and all that.

When the remaining wives put everything on eBay prices will plummet and bringing the world economy to its knees.

I have actually prepared several formal valuations for people who want to make sure loved ones get what's due in the event of bereavement. Peace of mind for £50 has been popular.

on the other hand my own stuff is to be left untouched in my studio in perpetuity.

I have a mate on stand by for this task

I will in the next day or so, respond, Bezzo.
