Memories are personal, figuring into the individual's value of something in a way that has no effect on the monetary value. Once that individual passes on, that aspect of value is gone forever.

I have lost a number of people over the years....only one member of close family left, and he is not in the best of shape (three strokes).

This I understand as well...one's taste in nice things changes as well. At this point in my life, I don't really get into adding more stuff.

One exception? A custom pool cue case & the sticks inside that are very much pro quality as well. Although expen$ive...they get used. They were used last night...as Cindy kicked my butt on a 7' bar table with her Jacoby (factory) cue...
