That's the reason I purchased my K3S, P3, KPA500 and KAT500 all within the past 2 years.  At 77 years young, I figure it will be my last ham radio station until I'm QRT.     I used a P-Touch and put a nice label with the model, s/n, and price paid and my call on each of the boxes.

I figure in the end some auctioneer will sell it for $0.01 on the dollar if lucky.  "You know that McGraw fellow was one of them CB operators and had some weird looking equipment".   And furthermore, for the same reason, I liquidated my shop test equipment.  I wanted to enjoy the benefits of the money while still on the green side of the grass, as opposed to looking up at the roots from inside of a satin lined coffin.   "Beam me up Scottie, there's no intelligent life here".   Chuck me in the oven and toss my ashes to the wind.

K1's often go for more than they cost as a new kit.

K2's have held there value very well.

Wait til you find out your kids usually throw all your ham gear in a dumpster when you go permanent QRT.
