I would have that conversation with him. Tell him that if he passes it's most likely that his wife or kids will just auction or pawn it all off. Tell him you'll buy it. He'll know it will be cared for and cherished and he can shoot them any time he likes. The truth and the end results may take the sting out of it for him.
wow i probably dont want to know what you paid either
good score
Nice haul...it's your heirs' problem now
...Speak softly & carry a big stick...
My daughter is already getting nervous about what she is going to inherit. She knows what I have but not too much about what it all is.
Makes me happy to know that someone who understands, appreciates and will take care of this stuff got it.
This one year old was still fun to read. I love old stuff.
The trick seems to be selling it or giving it away to the right people before you cant.
