A morbid thought -- what should my survivors do with my cels if I die tomorrow?? (Sun Apr 25 03:59:50 2004 )

This is sort of a morbid thought, but I found 
myself wondering....

If I were to be hit by a meteor falling out of 
the sky tomorrow, or discover that I had a brain 
tumor, what should I tell my survivors to do with 
my cels?

(Lest anyone wonder -- no, I am not contemplating 
anything unpleasant.  My life just keeps getting 
happier as time goes on, and I dream of living to 
be 120 years old;  but as I looked at my pile of 
cels tonite, I realized that I need to be 
responsible to my significant others in case a 
meteor chooses me for it's entry trajectory).

I'm looking at a pile of about 600 cels, many of 
them "high-end" cels.  If I were to become worm 
food tomorrow, my survivors would have interest 
in keeping only a small minority of the cels, and 
might need the extra cash to get by for a while.

What would they best do?

Do big dealers like Yann and Curt by whole large 
collections for fair prices?  (I consider "fair 
price" cash for a large collection to be 50% of 
what they think they could sell it for).

Or would my survivors have to become eBay street 
people, auctioning off 600 cels one-by-one as 
quick as they could manage it?

Or is there a better idea?

Just wondering what people know -- when I thought 
of this, I realized that it's a reasonable 
financial planning question that I had given NO 
thought to before...
