I see you're new - often it's difficult to know who (newcomers especially) are referring to in their comments. The solution? When you want to respond (say to me) just hit the "quote reply" box you'll see at the bottom of every post, write your response in the new box, hit send and by some technical magic we'll all be able to make out who you're addressing ![/quote]
And, just for giggles, on your profile add where you are located. I'm kinda nosey, I like to see where a responder is located. Yes, I know, that is not necessarily where the photo/image/photograph is taken, but it's nice to get some idea which part of the world the responder/op occupies.

Among my friends, we decided long ago that these should our second to last dying words to our loved ones. “Don’t sell my camera stuff for what I told you I paid for it!”
I think I messed up all these years and told my wife what I really spent for my camera gear. That has resulted in a trip for US to her favorite jewelry store to locate a new shinny thing for her. So a $3500 camera actually only cost me about $7,000 to $8,000 depending upon how shinny her thing was. Happy wife makes a happy photographer!

I have accumulated 500 different bottles of whisky over the years - mostly single malts - from about 20 different countries. Hmmm? I wonder what my wife or daughter will do with that. Sell it off at 2% of true value? Or throw a week long wake with all our friends & family (that’s what I’d do)!
I would say that the thing to do with those 500 bottles is to start comparing the contents.
Of course that doesn't mean you have to drink a lot because you have to compare each bottle to 499 others, so you can only taste 1/499th of a bottle at a time. Maybe even less, because by the time you get through them you might have forgotten how the first two compared. So you'll have to start over.

My wife is also into photography and also knows the price of my guitars, And is waiting for the day she can sell my Old Les Paul Custom and camera equipment. What she does not keep for herself.

I should probably label my stuff so my daughters know which I used, what had sentimental value to me, and what I hadn’t gotten around to jettisoning. What I paid years ago doesn’t matter, even if I could remember now; all that matters is what people are willing to pay now.

we are now drinking our older bottles of red wine put aside for a "rainy day". Time may be shorter than I anticipated!

Hey Gene - Texas is a rather large state, so saying you live in "central Texas" barely helps the likes of me who has been to Texas - that's like Robin Hood saying to the sheriff's men "you might find me in Sherwood Forest" !!
