Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: When you have kicked the bucket

I agree with this... keep what you will use and no more - unless you have mentored someone who is considered by you to be a worthy recipient.

This would put back into the market some items which have been collected (hoarded, even) and put downward pressure on the items, with respect to pricing, which enthusiast builders (living real ones) at the moment cannot afford to buy due to 'collector value'.

And I believe the time is about right, hardly anyone uses the stuff anymore, compared with 40 - 60 years ago.. and say 25-30 years old plus 40-60 years puts us to about now.

Having it snapped up at 10c on the dollar after you pass is a bad deal - much better to sell it off and leave the money to your kin.

It might flood the market a little bit, but that would be my point = give a little bit back... surely, still better than 10% as mentioned previously.

But then, some have interest in keeping prices high... but also to them will come the eventuality from which no man can escape.
