I gotta agree. Recently I sold an item I picked up about 12 years ago for a very good price. The value when I sold it was almost 6x that, and some folks contacted me and said I could have gotten about 8x. My response; I made a very good bit, more than I would have ever imagined when I bought it, and it was never as an investment for a return on money, so I was most fortunate. And second, the guy that bought it got a very good deal and was extremely happy to find it for that price in the market, knowing it will continue to increase, and he would not likely see that opportunity again. So, two very happy folks. It helped in making my "last major move" a reality. The guy with the wheel, unless he had paid more than the $15k he was offered, and trying to salvage that (but that's unlikely), might find his heirs seeing it sold for pennies on the dollar at an estate auction. But then, he won't care, he'll be reading the sheet music to Ray Charles.
