    My wife and kids joke that ten minutes after I am lowered into the gorund that all my colleciton will go up on ebay! I insist that will not be the case, that if no one in the family wants them to throw everything inthe coffin and I'lll take 'em with me whereever I go! :-) I jokje that my will states this case explicitely!

    Actually, I hope that one of my children wants them to keep! I have 4 children and one daughter and one son are into reading so there is hope!

    And I do not have any high dollar items like worth $5K as stated above. I think the most expensive item in my collection is my Six Stories in the trey case. Maybe my First Edition Carrie signed at The Three Kings Event comes in second! :-)

    I don't have anything nearly that expensive, but the couple of things I do have I definitely don't want to go to my relatives, who don't know/care what they are worth and wouldn't take care of or appreciate them.

    Damn. I think I need to draw up a will now. Maybe I'll donate it to the ASPCA and let them sell it for cash. Hmmm.

    I too have everything on a detailed spreadsheet in case I enter the clearing at the end of the path.

    I have a list of super collectors and key bookstores as a reference for my family. They know who to contact (and that includes a few members from this site). As wonderful as these people are, I know that they would all help my family in time of need, just as I would be willing to give my best advice to someone else's family.

    In the end, I think my family would keep a few items as a rememberance of me, but the bulk would be sold.

    Since given my age and health this seems appropriate, they will go to my son. I've kept detailed logs and receipts of all purchases and have told him where to go to value them (SKcollector.com, Hutch and Betts) but, most of all (and I realize this is morbid) I told him NEVER to sell them until AFTER SK moves on to the clearing at the end of the path.

    I also collect art by Ronnie Wood of the Stones and Roger Dean and have told my kids never to sell them until after they pass.

    Truth be told, I like to think they will more than likely hold onto the stuff for a while as they grew up knowing their respective collectibility. The Disney Cells (Yeah Cells) go to my Grand kids. First in their nursery's then........who knows? lol lol

    My wife will get all of my collection if I go first and knowing her, she won't part with a single item. Talk to my brother after we're both gone. He gets it from there and will do with it what he pleases. I should probably have a discussion with him about the value of my collections. Not that they're worth that much, but all together they're worth a small sum. Under ten grand for sure, but over five I'd say when you add in the artwork.

    Unless I kick off first, your family/loved ones can always come to me at Betts Books now that I am a business owner.

    After thinking long and hard on the matter I've decided NOT to die so I can continue collecting.

    Don't forget to consider the possibility that you and your spouse/partner might "peg it" at the same time.

    This is an important point. Because this thread was recently bumped, I reviewed my original posts and realized that I still have not let anyone other than my wife know who to contact.

    If she wanted to sell them, my wife would either come here and find this forum, as I've mentioned she should do (I've even mentioned a few people by real name to look for - if she remembers). Or she'd simply trust eBay bidders to set the market price. She knows enough not to donate them to Goodwill or sell them in a garage sale.

    Now that I'm thinking about it... If we were both to go out at the same time while the boys are still young, I don't know if anyone else (the grandparents mainly) would realize the value. Maybe I better mention something to someone else in the family...
    Maybe I'll do what Rahfa did and store a note of instructions in my bookcase...

    I don't have any items worth more than a few hundred dollars a piece (yet), but even so--my books will go to my children, King books and other gems alike. I hope they grow a love for the King books as I have and keep them, but if not, I'd rather my children benefit from the sale of them than anyone else.

    That being said--if any of you are unsure of who you might leave your books in care of...I will kindly volunteer my services.

    Funny I found this thread when I did. Since my collection is hovering around the 5k mark, maybe even passed it by now, the wife and I had this talk a few days ago. I was making it clear that there were certain books that would never go up for sale regardless of the situation. I had been in the hospital that week, and "things" were a topic a few nights after I got out. She asked what would I do with the books if I passed. My response was an easy one. Hopefully some times goes by and I will be able to judge which of my kids would love the collection as I do. That would be the kid who gets them. She was floored. She thought for sure, I would automatically leave everything to her and let her sort things out later. That is not exactly the right choice in my life, as my first three kids are by my second wife. Atm, my 13 yr old daughter holds the most interest in reading, so she is my natural choice. This could change, but only if she takes a drastic change in direction.

    My daughter announced to my family that she will assume ownership of my collection after I kick the bucket.

    I don't know what she will do with it all though.
    In addition to my SK collection (meager as it is), I also have a massive comic collection that includes original art, statues, prints, lithographs, etc. that has been building since the early '70s.
