Maybe. After I'm dead and buried, if one of my kids hits on such hard times that they have to sell my beloved ERA-732, then so be it. Whether, at that time, she's worth 25K, 50K, 75K, 100K+, doesn't really matter. The real value of ERA-732 is that it "was Dad's." I know there's at least one thread that pops up here from time to time where the OP essentially writes "find me my daddy's ERA and I'll throw as much money as necessary to everybody in order to get it back in to my garage." I understand completely -- but I wouldn't want anybody to miss a meal, or have to take a loan to stay in school, just to keep my car in their garage.
