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).

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
