I own my house and I own my collection. It fills the house. And already I am thinking about what to do when I retire... And I also am gifting the house to someone through my will who I know does not want the kit. And so.. I am thinking in a few years time... say 5 years of doing much the same. I need the house gone and as I retire I cant be having the stuff around me anymore...When I die the person who takes over the house will send it down the dump... They have told me as much. Circumstances of life may prevail over any issues regarding defunct computers. At times other things matter more. A bit cruel.. But true. Selling a whole mass of stuff takes alot of time and energy and some folk just wont want to bother.
I know this is true cus I have collected like rooms full of stuff for free from people who just can't be bothered any more. Some people though don't care cus they just see it as junk.... And even when you say you will collect for free you often don't take it all. This happened to a guy I collected a double garage full of stuff from who was emigrating to Australia. He was really struggling getting rid of everything. The tip is a mighty attractive idea specially when all you need is a skip.
So don't be too ready to judge.
