Greg - I guess it's a sign of the times.
I just had this same type of conversation with my niece the other day. I told her I feel like everything in my apartment would have value to someone and it would be up to her and her brother to decide if they want to take the time to reap the rewards. They could either try and sell the stuff or keep it. But for God's sake don't just throw it out. Donate it at least. Maybe it will find it's way to someone who would appreciate it. When Joe wrote regarding the loss of his friend I wondered will his treasure be thrown on a heap or will they find their way to new caretakers. We won't be here to worry about it but the thought of anything collectable just being tossed out does make me sad in advance.
