Do you know how much this collection is worth? From the eBook of short stories "Do Not Disturb:This is my reading time" by author Roger J Lown.
You have been invited to someone’s home for coffee and cake. You have a delightful conversation and then your host invites you to look at their family heirlooms or the much-embellished room where they have all their valuable collectibles. They show you an item and ask you if you like it then they ask, “Do you know how much these fancy collectible plates are worth?” From knickknacks and vintage china to classic cars and antique tools, most hosts always ask their guests this same question.
Whenever I hear this question, in my mind I’m thinking,” yeah it’s worth whatever a person decides to grease your palms with….” Your host may think their old antique china set is worth five hundred bucks,’ but if no one offers any money for it then that dainty dish set sits on the shelf merely collecting dust. I’m sure it may be worth a lot of money in theory, but the host’s pockets are still empty. Your classic car may be worth ten thousand dollars, but if the only buyer you have offers you two-grand you would take it. Otherwise, if you don’t take the offer-the car sits and collects dust, and eventually in time will rust out. This just doesn’t make any sense to me. Isn’t the point of having collectibles and valuables to make some money?
I watched this show where this successful gentleman amassed a great fortune from an idea he sold. The owner gave the show host a tour of his mega basement that contained over fifty-motorcycles. One of the bikes was brand new, had no mileage on it, and the man bought it just to basically add it to his motorcycle collection. If I had money like that to spend, I’d rather buy a motorcycle and give it to a less fortunate deserving person who longed for the freedom of being a biker than to add it to my senseless collection in order to fulfill my ego. That’s the same as the person who owns multiple estate homes with dozens of bedrooms and bathrooms like a private motel for tax write off purposes, and yet there are homeless people whose bed is the hard often wet and dirty sidewalk with the curb as their pillow.
Friendship is priceless, yet the least collected, and the most rare to be found.
