I know of a situation where 2 brothers stand to own 200 acres, a 1955 Chevy, a 1928 stake bed truck and a few old rusty pieces of equipment. One is only interested in the 55. The other would like the land. I know the rusty old equipment is going to go to scrap for a quick buck. Thier kids have no interest in the land or anything else.
So when the time comes they will own it. I think the one will give his brother the land to get the 55. But they are both in their 60's so whats to become of everything when they die? You think their kids are going to want to pay taxes on land they don't want or need? Are they supposed to maintain the house and buildings too?
Most of you collectors don't want to pay for anything anyway and are always shopping for a bargain or freebie. So if I have an old plow that I can get 200 bucks a ton for and you want to pay me less than that I'm supposed to take the lass and smile? I'm not a collector. Have no interest in collecting. I'm restarting the family farm and have older stuff to keep the cost down. That's why I'm here. I'm not here to get bent over on something I may sell. You want my old Super 68 NH baler? I'll sell it to you but only for what I'd get for it as scrap. I really would rather see it used/restore than crushed but I want a fair price too. If that fair price comes from a scrapper so be it. You can bet that when my MIL passes I will put up an ad for the FIL's old mechanical lift one bottom plow. It it don't sell in a couple of weeks.........
