Sell them or give them to friends ...
My best friend, Pierre, some years ago had in a shortwhile multiple CVA, after the last one, when visiting him he told me : " Hello, who are you ? " No family, nothing, just me and an ex girlfriend . We always said, if something happen to me, my collection is yours . But following his last CVA he was put on guardianship, the guy responsible try first to sell , receive a visit and a proposal for what was apparent on the shelf,
circa 100 unmade ( 54mm to 150mm and many busts all in original boxes ) and his collection of related books 200 Osprey, all funcken, many Allmarks, the big Bucquoy collection and many plates and other books ... The guardian accepted a proposal of 300€ ( a shame ) for the lot . And then the guardian decided to give the totality of the house for free to the people who will come to take all wihout cost .
The last girl friend of Pierre, told me because I was completely unaware of this, she also made a proposal to the guardian, telling she will clean all and offered 500€ . It was accepted .
Well arround 5000 books, 1500 DVD and lasers disks, 1000 of magazines ( wargames, soldiers, maquettes ) , manga, comics,and something the previous buyer didn't know or saw, many bananas boxes containing 4000 25mm painted and unpainted, 60 busts, many 54mm and 120mm, also a "competition PC with 300 games and 10 hard disks and all the desks containing the books and DVD . It took us 1 month, many hours a day, to empty the appartment .
I helped her cleaning and got lot of books and all the figures . We sold lot ( all DVD, mangas, comics, games) and today, 5 years later, she still handle the money to pay him sweeties
Meanwhile he recovered against all odds a great deal of his memories, he can read ( french, english german ) and is living in a specialised home, where we brought him by packs, his books, TV set, PC . I visit him, now he recognize me, I told about his past life and he rebuilded his own memories .
Explaining this to you, I fully dicover that if I'm 20 years old only in mind; in reality this year I will have 69 . I'm going to apply lot of councils given here . Because I still have his grey army plus mine and my own collection of books ( arround 4000 ) and my collection of movies figurines, my own DVD, and, and ....
