I was given some "family heirlooms" from my parents through the years. Honestly, it's antique type stuff they just were going to throw out. A hand water pump what was at my grandpa's house (value $35), a brown jug that is in every antique store ($20), and a few other oddball items.
My dad gave me some guns, but only one is useful as I have a few acres and have my own that will take care of any varmints and whatnot. I figure everything together is worth maybe $1000.
Any thoughts from the forum on selling it all? Part of me thinks I should keep it as I have it stored out of the way. I did get tools from him through the years I use all the time, so it's not like I will have nothing from him. Those who got rid of stuff, any regrets? I did set a few things aside for my kids, but they really have no interest in any of it.
Would it be tacky to contact a cousin or two about selling? At least it would stay in the family, then again not sure I want to do that. I'm not close with the family, but when we see each other, we have a great time. I don't need the money, but there is value to the items.
Not sure...
