Add in dementia and those other diseases that hit our age group with little warning, you can understand the reasoning for selling for as much as possible to at least ensure covering long term medical costs or the future security of family and loved ones.

It's high time I started to get rid of my lot before I cark it and the family sells off at a fraction of the real value.

I'm lucky in regards to my collection because my son is as enthused about military as I am so hopefully future financially willing, everything will be passed down to him.

I can't say I have anyone that is enthused about my stuff. I have two daughters, neither interested in military things. My one son in law is interested in a few firearms but only a couple specific ones. My other son in law seems a lot more interested but is just starting out financially and can't really collect anything himself. He always seems curious about the less interesting things like canteens so there may be hope for him. My oldest daughter is fairly secure financially, the youngest not yet. They are all aware that this stuff has value and are not likely to let it go cheap like some might. I'm at least trying to get an inventory with current values and keeping it up to date. I have a lot of work to do on this. My firearms are at least done if not up to date. Everything else is a disaster.
