What happens to our collections after we pass on?

[Klickus Mobilius]

I'm having a massive tomb constructed by slaves, somewhere in the Oregon desert, but there's another 50 years construction required. All my klickies are going to be buried with me, and a in a few thousand years someone will dig them all up and wonder who this poweful king was, who could have all his subjects modelled in miniature and buried with him.

Ancient Egyptian royalty had little statuettes called shabtis (or ushabtis; there are numerous spellings) that are supposed to act as servants for the deceased in the afterlife.  They were placed in the tomb along with the sarcophagus.  Perhaps your klickies could act in that capacity for you.

However the way prices are rising I can see me having to sell everything when we have to fund Junior through university    so they may not still be around when I 'pass on'!!

oh may what a topic  i've never thought of that  the important is to enjoy what we have when we live. after dying who cares where the  property will go ,probably they'll sell them on ebay or something to empty the space

I think i'd prefer for my collection to pass on to somebody who will appreciate it. Don't want it to be sold so that my children or grandchildren will get a car... Thats sharing Bill's sentiment...

Now sharing Martin's sentiment, if I go, my collection goes with me!!!

(of course I might get married in the future, have kids and hopefully they'll love playmobil so thay inherit them...)

Well, I consider my Victorian collection to be an heirloom in its own right and quite a rarity as it was now discontinued many years ago, but beyond its commercial value it is the great sentimental value attached to it and the many great moments when my happy little Victorians highlightened my Life and this is priceless 

I absolutely share the feeling that such a special collection should go to someone who will appreciate it

I was only thinking about what would happen to my collection when I died as we drove back home today from Norfolk.  No children, great nephew and great niece too young yet to show any interest and better half not a collector.  So maybe it's off to eBay with them or the charity shop or the local church playgroup nor whatever.

Martin's idea has attractions, of course.

Sorry Martin, they ain't gonna be digging it up in a thousand years.  Like the grave robbers of old, I'll be all over that before the funeral flowers have wilted.  Just Kidding Martin, I have no desire to have a playmobil curse.
