I find the same attitude with my nieces and nephew. I had two very valuable oriental rugs in perfect condition and offered them to a niece and husband. Finally told them that I could sell the rugs for $10k which finally got them to come get them.
Whoa Death,
Won’t you pass
Me over for a
Little while.
My mother-in-law was moving years ago and had a big garage sale, and my wife said that she wanted the Hoosier cabinet that she grew up with. Flimsy thing and pretty worn. MIL called and said somebody offered her $800 for the thing. My wife said no way! It is in our kitchen now.
One of these days we might even put a new coat of paint on it.
