I do have a list in a codicil to my will of what I have, as well (with a brief history of those of sentimental value to me). I also have serial numbers listed, if they have one. I do go back now and then and revise approx values as needed. I feel I should also expound on some of the histories, add approx acquisition dates and pictures could be of some value, too.

Much of what I have are just "run of the mill" factory stuff, but I do have several customs mixed in the bunch. If I tip over, my bride won't need to sell anything to go forward, but I don't think she will want to keep them either. I have also told my wife to consult with several friends I trust to help her out if she needs/wants to. Actual sale price and desirability are somewhat linked together in the end.
