Do you know where your shtuff is going ???

My wife gets what is here. She knows who gets what. Son may or may not want what's set aside for him. If they sell it all for pennies, I won't care - I won't be here TO care. I'm done with it - do what you want with it.
 
It isn't just guns and gun stuff. I know two widows who let their husband's coins, stamps, and first editions library go for nearly nothing. All went to 'friends' who just wanted to be sure their friend's wife wasn't ripped off.

I was able to intervene in a third estate. The wife called me up and asked me to look over his coins and verify an offer from another 'friend'.

She got $63,000 for his collection from a dealer, which was $55,000 more than the 'friend' was going to go out of his way to pay.

At least make sure your family knows the value of your stuff, so when the vultures start to circle, they can drive them off.
 
However If I am dead it won't make a lick of difference to me. That will be their problem as I fade away.

If you care at all for them, you can save them a bit of money, a lot of trouble and maybe some acrimony.

If, on the other hand, you don't like them much, leave it all to a charity that you do like .....

...of go the Arthur J. Muldoon route, and "leave it all to the people of Calgary ....."
 
I really don't want to tell her what the stuff IS worth while I am alive... She might kill me :)

I have a solution I use for my current reloading components and gun stuff.
I leave the price tags on or I leave the invoice in the box.

About the only thing that I have that isn't marked is the guns themselves.
 
I've sold a lot of my "shtuff" just so my family wouldn't have to deal with it. What I have left I have made a list with what I paid and a notation on the ones that I think should be worth a bit.
