[QUOTE="Deleted member 48126, post: 1581832"] It’s person dependent. I had an uncle pass away who was a big time shooter and gun collector. He has some type of firearm from every war the US has been in since WWI. My cousin (his son) is also a gun guy. He understood the value of his dads firearms and loved to shoot just as much. Well my uncle wasn’t even in the ground yet, and I couldn’t even make a cash offer before my cousin sold off 75% of his stuff to random town assh**es. I yelled at him and told him that there will be a time when his memories of his dad fade and the only thing he’ll have left we’re those guns and his times shooting with his dad. His response was yeah but I needed money now.... He’s 23, in our local community college (cheap, not havard tuition), living with his mom at the time. He didn’t need money for anything of importance. So to me I believe I assigned the correct sentimental value to my uncles guns, to my cousin he assigned a dollar amount. It not necessarily the possession that important, it’s the memories that the possession holds. I know when my dad passes away (hopefully years and years away from now) I will do everything in my power to keep his guns. My brothers love guns too, but they also love money. My memories with my family are more important than money. [/QUOTE]
