Personally, being one of the younger members of MLU (53
I hadn't contemplated my own mortality until a diagnosis of malignant Melanoma (does rain cause cancer?!?!) last year sharpened my mind wonderfully on that possibility. I have a decent collection of WW II Canadian militaria and would hate to see it auctioned off to those who feed off the dead, that is, people who scour the obituaries looking for estate sales to ensure that if anything of value is undersold, they are the ones who get it. Lamentably, none of my girls nor my step-son are interested in my collection and there currently is no fourth generation in my blood line. So I plan to enjoy reenacting and displaying my stuff until such time as I am physically incapable to continue. At that point, if I have no interested grand-spawn, I will donate my Engineer items to the CME museum in Gagetown and the rest of my by then well catalogued collection will be put up for sale on ebay. Why ebay, you ask? Because if you look at the prices paid for items on ebay these days, you know the winning bidders will care for and appreciate their purchases. This will also maximize the return for my estate.
