[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My inlaws collect pretty expensive antiques (although not ones I would want...). They keep telling us the prices of things. Ugh. I'm hoping they sell them all to a dealer before they downsize! My SIL and I joke about not fighting each other over these antiques since they don't want them either. [/quote]

I curse the antiques and collectibles that my boomer parents and in-laws refuse to part with. Ebay and the internet killed the antique and collectibles market. Very little of this stuff is worth even trying to sell. Their china is not collectible, it was mass produced. Silver at least can be sold by the weight.[/quote]

PP here. They are actively collecting it in their retirement years! This isn't something they're refusing to part with, this is something they're buying up like crazy. They go to antique stores nearly every weekend. ugh. Most are country looking antiques.[/quote]

It's your parents' money, it clearly makes your parents' happy, so why object? Just be clear to them that you have no intention of keeping it when they pass on. [/quote]
