I forgot to proof read this, as I corrected two words. I don’t mean to sound heartless, as I am sure they did talk to each about things, but she was not informed on things with his hobby, as I know this happens allot with marriages. Get your spouse involve with the train, tell her or him about what you are doing, any worth, etc. If they are not interested write something down NOW as you never know what something can happen. I came close to death once at age 52, so you never know.

Linda, who you have met many times, knows where my PRICE guides, inventory sheets, etc., for my train collection and other things like US coins baseball cards. etc. She has a very good idea on the total of what my collectables are worth. Maybe NOT each piece, but she knows the sum in total as again, she knows about price guides etc., as a price guide is just a guide. The wife did not do much research on this nor did the friend. I do not put full fault with what she got completely on the buyer, yes, he could of done better for her, but they always say get 3 offers in things in life and she did not.
