What will happen to your collection when you go to that final tomb?

ChattyLMS · March 28, 2009, 02:31:07 PM

This question came up on another board so I thought I'd see what you all say. Someday when you die, what will happen to your collection?

My answer is:
So far I've told my family to keep whatever things they want. If they don't want all of them there's one thing I have that I'd like to go to a special person. Then after that, they should sell them at a good price. That is, don't put them in a garage sale with $5 on the tag. They don't even have to sell them as far as I'm concerned. As long as they go to somebody that would really like them and would take care of them, that would be OK with me.

My family will have no clue what to do with my possessions. You can pretty much write off the entire collection. If I knew I was dying and had time to make arrangements, I would sell it/give it away myself or put it in the hands of people who would carry out my wishes. But if I just kick the bucket unexpectedly, the collection is toast.

Or if you have kids, maybe they will inherit your love for monsters and you can leave it to them. Hey, you never know!

My mom's fiance says he wants to be buried with his entire toy collection, when he dies.

If I still have my collection when I die, unless my brother turns out to be a geek like me and wants to take it, it will probably end up getting donated to charity. (starts whistling "Dust in the Wind")

Some of the stuff aside from monster memoribillia has managed to survive my childhood..from comic books, to action figures and of course monsters. I'd like to hope that one day I'll eventually find a woman who isnt possessed by Satan and these things will give maybe a son or daughter the joy that they gave me for many many years. Until then who knows...Im pretty happy to be among the living enjoying my stuff right now. To quote Motorhead "The only time I'm gonna be easy is when I'm killed by death!"...in other words, I will fight with every last ounce of energy to stay here and play with my stuff!

If neither of my kids want any of it, between our Disney and my monster collection, they should be able to fund a decent trip for themselves. That would be my wish.

Good Luck with that one!

My daughter gets it all. I have told her to only keep the stuff that means something to her.

As for the rest of you, feel free to leave me in your wills!

I've already found her, sorry.

She has a sister though!

Would her maiden name be gulch by any chance?

My collection is going to my nephew and a few close friends, the only condition I've placed on it is that if he has to sell it just keep the magazines I wrote for during my lifetime.

I won't give a hoot. I'll be dead.

It'll be my wife's problem, unless she goes first, then my 2 daughters inherit it all. They can do with it what they want, keep what they wish, sell the rest, give it to the UMA Home for Unloved Monster Society or whatever.........

If my current financial situation doesn't improve pretty darn quick, I won't have time to make it to the tomb before my collection is broken up amongst various eBay bidders! At bargain basement prices too, no doubt!

CreepysFan · March 29, 2009, 01:20:24 AM

If I can't take the CREEPY's with me, I'm not going!

Seriously, the DVD's will go to Karen, and the magazines, masks, books, and everything else will go to my siblings. I already know my stuff will still be loved when I'm gone. If it's a slow enough death, some of my UMA brothers and sisters may recieve a few items too (the LIVING DEAD ZOMBIE DOLLS are yours then Laura).

Monster Bob · March 29, 2009, 07:45:18 AM

Unfortunately for my wife, if there isn't some sort of collection deaccession, she'll be shoveling this crap into a dumpster.

Thank you Uncle Creepy! You're the best. Just don't die just for me!
