Old collections

[Drm50]

Wife has been bugging me to clean up basement and garage. She
claims I hog all the space with my "junk". I didn't make much
headway. Every box I opened was full of forgotten treasure.
I found a bunch of old fishing reels that I used to collect, and
about 50 wood planes. She said if I don't get rid of some of it
she will have a yard sale when I croak and sell them for a
nickel apiece, just to make me twist in the grave.

It's none of my business but you might want to listen to the wife on this.

that board just needs a frame and it can go in the living room or den. lee

Wanna make $14.00 the hard way?

 

[shaggist]

What does she want of hers to put in the place of yours---makeup, shoes, a sewing room, a potting bench, beanie baby display, or some else important like these?

Oh, man - I don't know the current values on old fishing reels and wood planes, but they look like prime eBay fodder: vintage stuff that is easy to ship.

I think I'd learn the ropes of listing stuff, have a massive sale, and buy a couple of really nice guns.

Looks like I see a few Ambassadeur reels on that board!!

If you have any Ambassadors to sell I can give you the number of a collector who specializes in Ambassadors.

I hope you had the time to wet a line with a few of those.

I have found that when I get rid of my stuff, the wife moves in twice as much of her stuff and then redecorates around it.
