Ruby, I think have have come up with a solution for our "treasures" — just before Deb & I move into retirement living, we will rent a storage unit, move the treasures into it, pay for the first six months, then refuse to pay all future costs. The storage company will sell off the contents, and the stuff will go to a good home! Or at least to someone who paid for it.

[Note that Deb has not, actually, agreed to this, but I have a few years yet to talk her into it.]
