Yard find

[Jimoz]

Been working at a nice house this week. Have a yard with all sorts of machines and vehicles parked up. Just an elderly lady lives there now the husband died few years ago. Asked her if she wants to sell this she has got to run it by her sons but she would like the stuff gone. Be ok for me for the odd bits I would want it for. Has a lovely American jeep in the garage think the husband fully restored it before he passed away it looks mint.

The thought of my wife selling all my stuff when I am dead gives me the fear.

Is that for you the what you told her you paid for it?

I’ve genuinely said to my girlfriend if anything happens to me dont just sell it off to the vultures cheap!

You mean the thought of her knowing the value before you go

It's ok we'll take care of any collections that need disposing of...just make sure they can post in the back room and we'll head down

Jokes asides it's not fun going through stuff...
Absolutely lost it when I opened a drawer at dad's the other week with all his original joinery hand tools laid out ...played with em as a kid he served his time with em. Yankees etc

Sorry might come across as insensitive with any health probs @V8Druid. I just meant to vast collection of gear you've got. You like a nosy around this guys place some proper vintage stuff. Had nice views like yours. The dog was well happy 80 acres didn't see her for hours.

Don't think you can claim "special types" on that second low loader

My old man has everything in categorized draws and has started to put a note with name and value in each draw. He has tens of thousands of specialist lathe and milling machine tooling. On top of that he has a vast amount of stuff with little monetary value but very unique that should go to a collection. He has machined everything in his life from clock components to traction engine crankshafts and kept every bit of tooling.

Just be aware (and ensure your next of kin understand!) that probate value ‘needs to be’, and real-world cash-in value may unfortunately be lower than actual replacement value.

Sorry MB can you rephrase that. I'm confused.
