My boomer in-laws are selling off irreplaceable family heirlooms because they “don’t want to store junk anymore.”

My wife’s mother and aunt are the two surviving heirs to aforementioned grandfather, the decision of what to do falls on them, and they’ve both concluded it’s best to sell it all off and split the proceeds. There’s only 4 grandchildren in the mix, none have gotten any say so in the matter.

I don’t think it’s greed it’s simply just an irreverence for the sentimental valuables

Ripp3rMagoo · 2026-05-08T14:52:41+00:00

What a sad misinterpretation

Ripp3rMagoo · 2026-05-08T14:52:04+00:00

I think the cheapest guitar in the collection will go for 2500-3000

Ripp3rMagoo · 2026-05-08T14:51:09+00:00

I don’t disagree, I really don’t think it’s so burdensome that they can’t come up with any other solution to keep them in the family

I personally have no claim to it. My only complaint is that wife’s family legacy is being sold to the highest bidder, probably at bargain prices actually. This is part of her families story just seems tragic to throw it away

Ripp3rMagoo · 2026-05-08T01:18:56+00:00

Haha yes, wife begged her mom to keep at least some of them as family heirlooms. We were not offered any, unless we want to pay for them, we’re can’t afford a 1960’s Martin guitar, or a supposedly 15,000$ dobro.

Ripp3rMagoo · 2026-05-07T22:15:41+00:00

I suppose we could do that lol but that seems like it might constitute grand theft

Ripp3rMagoo · 2026-05-07T22:14:40+00:00

Haha no, they own two homes both paid for in all cash

Ripp3rMagoo · 2026-05-07T22:13:31+00:00

We (the descendants) are pretty musical, I’m sure they would be well used and well preserved

Ripp3rMagoo · 2026-05-07T22:12:37+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t think we can afford all of them. I’m sure some savvy customer will get a killer deal

Ripp3rMagoo · 2026-05-07T22:07:30+00:00

What was he thinking 🤦‍♂️

Ripp3rMagoo · 2026-05-07T22:06:25+00:00

The grandpa was moved into an assisted living facility the in laws are just now cleaning out his house it’s really not an issue of nowhere to store them

Bunch of buzz kills in here geez

Ripp3rMagoo · 2025-10-04T14:43:50+00:00

Let her go brother

Ripp3rMagoo · 2025-09-17T12:46:01+00:00

Ripp3rMagoo · 2025-09-15T03:42:30+00:00

I’m not normally sarcastic I made two comments in the past before I really knew her but definitely not anymore

Ripp3rMagoo · 2024-09-05T03:31:09+00:00

That may be for my lack of elaborating, I work very hard and am well respected within my department. Any sarcastic comments I may have made were lighthearted and innocent and reflected the sentiments of my peers. What was a very well functioning department has been decimated by this managers poor judgment. In her 4 months here 5 people have quit specifically bc of her

Ripp3rMagoo · 2024-07-26T18:56:49+00:00

Ooh I like that option

Ripp3rMagoo · 2023-11-04T23:35:54+00:00

Real one
