A sad end game of poor estate planning

[Kiwick]

i'm afraid that most of those radios, especially the consoles, are still at risk of ending up in a landfill... they're probably not going to keep the "junk" they were unable to sell for a profitable price...

i agree totally ,it's seem's more & more people, if they can't make alot of money on something they rather through it in the landfill . its almost like since dig.tv came along now, & the[ fishy ] people, there is all asalt on older tv's like this one i found on craigs list today [email protected]. i think once these people that are trying to sell the tv's made in 90's on [ crt ] up to digital, can't sell them because the market is flooded with them ,there going to e-waste them or landfill them and the older one's are going with them. what is left allready of them. i started in my area for about 2 month's now on craigslist a want add that i am interested in tv from the 40's 50's 60's tv's ,its tured up some nice tv's like the roundie magi /the zenith 55 / and some others . instead of you hunting for a tv let them hunt you . you have to offer some money ,its been working for me i had a guy call me last, was wondering if i would be interested looking at some tv's that his grandfather had that died yrs ago. he read off a nice list , i will keep everone informed how that go's. p.s. how do you make a link to a sight you want to show that's the email add. its the holland mich.graiglist of tv turned into something

I totally agree! This is much better than looking for them. There are MANY antique shops in South Central PA have few radios and NO tv's. Anything but.....But these treasures are out there.

Folks are holding on to stuff and have no idea how to unload it if there seems to be no interest to them.

I got many calls about 10 years ago, after my friend had a guy at the local paper come to my house. I was embarrassed to heck, though it was a small piece with a photo of my radios (Zenith am-fms, AK-30 and Trans-oceanic) and my RCA CTC11 blonde with a nice color picture. It was in the Antiques feature next to Harry Rinker's column.

That is easy. When you have CL open in your web browser place your mouse over the address bar (where it says www.craigslist.org ) then left click on it to highlight the text then either press ctrl + c or right click on it and select copy. Then in your post put a space in before where you want the link then either push ctrl + v or right click and select paste put one more space after the link and continue typing your message if you want.

The copy-paste functions are some of the more useful ones that computers have IMHO, and can facilitate doing things fast as well as prevent headaches.

I'm glad I'm nowhere near old enough to worry about death and it's aftermath, but when I am I'll be sure to make arrangements so things go okay....If it is not handled properly I'll be sure to haunt the morons that botched it.

this story of the man who didnt make plan's for what would happen to his collection, i have got see up close what happen's twice in my life . the first time was 1989, i met a guy where i worked he always told me about his grandpa was into tv's radios all his life ,at the time he was in his 90's . well through the guy i worked with i met his grandpa , he was in pour health , i started giving money for some things and somethings he just gave me ,with a long story to every idem ,we clicked right off his house was packed from top to bottom ,he got into radio when he was young and tv later as it developed he was a tv repairman all his life . he would tell me when he got[ older ] he would just let me have most of his things since none of his kids liked this kinda of stuff ,sometime past i got bussy more working ,but still stayed in touch with him, his nephew told me about 15 days after it happened that his grandpa died suddenly and kids were selling the house .they threw everything in dumpsters and they allready halled off some dumpsters, his nephew made the family hold the last one so i could get what could everday after work till dark for a week . the books / manuals alone was worth it .so that is so true if you have stuff you want go somewhere when your died ,put it in writing ,or sell it or give it to someone that shares your interest ,because it will not go were think it will.
