Personal Consumer Issues • Public service announcement for older Bogleheads: sell your collections & “valuable stuff” while you’re still alive

Bogleheads:

My wife and I owned a large display case containing items we collected over the years.

After my wife died, I enjoyed inviting guests to take any single item they would like from the case. A few years later the case was empty.

Everyone was happy.

Best wishes.
Taylor
