I must admit, I'm vaguely perturbed at a 'not bothered' attitude regarding what happens to a collection once the owner has passed. The collection, no matter how small or large represents the love and care bestowed upon it by the late collector and deserves to be 'dispersed' in an appropriate manner, not a skip, the tip, whatever. Furthermore, they're not building vintage radios, TVs, & hifis anymore so on that score alone they need to be responsibly re-homed. Whether or not the late collector leaves more detailed instructions in that respect or simply places the onus on one caring, responsible person to do so properly is only right and correct in my book. No collection should be dispersed in a manner that is likely to result in sets going to places where they're not wanted, not cared for or even junked. Just my opinion.
