[modeleng] Re: What will happen to your equipment?

One of the benefits of belonging to a club is you can leave it to trusted 
friends to assist in disposing of all the essential pieces of equipment, 
materials etc. we somehow never got round to using.  We have an auction 
every November and we do sell what former members have accumulated.  The 
knowledgeable amongst us identify sensible reserve prices, of course

PS I expect my last job with my last bit of metal with the last gasp of my 
lathe will be fashioning a mass of keys to get me through the Pearly Gates!

I recently posed this question on Andy's board.
-----------------------------------------------

One day you will die.

Then, your widow (partner /children/whoever) may want to sell your models
and equipment.

How will they do so without getting ripped off by the sharks that are always
ready to profit by the misfortunes of others.

How will you, or could you, prevent this happening to YOUR equipment and
models?


(This thread is prompted by an event a couple of years ago when I bought
some books from the neaighbour of such a widow, and learned that the
engineers models had been bought from her for a pittance by a so-called
dealer. Not one of the known names in the trade I hasten to add.)
