Value is determined primarily by how much someone will exchange said good for, not the price tag you yourself put on it.

The ones saying no are liberal faggots. I'd gladly take anything from my parents that was given to me, even if I knew it would end up in the trash eventually.

Its a rise of them being children that cannot keep things together
Also, I don't know a single person over 70 that is actually keeping anything for their children.
Just look at the correlation between ideology and tiny houses

I used to work part time in an antiques store. People bring this shit in by the truckload, then get pissed when you tell them thier collect of sad clown plates the bought for $1000 from HSN is worthless.
>b-but the gold gilding
The worst raping I ever saw was an old man who brought in a bunch of paintings he bought on a cruise. He was convinced they were from famous artists. Turns out it's a regular scam some cruise lines would do. Once they crossed international waters they'd whip this shit out and convince them it was priceless. This was before wifi so there was no way to check. I honestly felt sorry for him.

The only thing that's worth any real money in that cabinet is the silver platter on the top shelf. Boomers spent their lives behaving like magpies and left their kids the 70s equivalents of bric-a-brac and Beanie Babies.

>>136311736
That and storage wars. There used to be some actual profit in buying storage spaces till that shot came along. Now they go for thousands. It's stupid.

>>136310777
Young people now dont want to be "held down" with ownership of anything. They all want to live in apartments. They all love the idea of car sharing. They get all their entertainment from their phones that fit in their pockets. All so they can travel. Travel is for some reason a very popular meme with people of this generation. They dont want to build, they just want to have fun. Its disgusting really.

To be honest, I don't want a lot of furniture and trinkets and shit: it takes up space. I'd rather just sell the house and put that away.

>>136310777
When my grandparents died, my parents and I took the stuff we wanted and got rid of/sold the rest. I got a lot of nice paintings/artwork/quality old hardwood furniture/etc. When my parents die, i will do the same. If you don't want the shit your parents have, then sell it. If you don't need the money or the shit is worthless, then give it away or throw it away. Not sure why that is a complicated thing for anyone.

Honestly anything involving Boomers should be scrubbed from the annuls of history. (That includes Millennials)

>Hating on tiny houses
I plan on buying a piece of land and building a tiny house so I can stop paying the rent jew. When it's time to start a family I'll build a real house on the land and turn the tiny house into a guesthouse, or a cuck shed, either or.

People who have to move across the country to find work every 3-5 years don't want much stuff to weigh them down. Same reason millenials aren't buying houses.

>>136312195

example

parents built a modest house in nice desirable(white) area in the late 80s. My father made enough money in the 90s to pay it off and pay for colludge. instead they spend everything living the life and have remortgaged the house taking money out.

>>136312195

I've worked at thrift stores for the better part of a decade, I've seen first hand that most people's first response to inheriting all this shit is to offload it as soon as possible. They quickly realize that they can't even give it away so they come to thrift stores where most of it is either thrown out, stolen/bought cheap and resold by employees, or sold in the store to other old people who will then leave it to their kids. At least 5 times a week I get an elderly donators who give me tearful stories about the memories they have about each little item, all the while I'm thinking 'I'm going to throw that out the minute you drive away'

I've noticed that boomers who don't have strong relationships with their children often attempt to "create" traditions as a means of giving them closer. For example, last year my father, who I don't have a great relationship with (he's morbidly obese, needy, and ambitionless) got me a Canadian $20 bill. I don't like Canada. He's not from Canada and only went there once. Neither of us has any real emotional connection with Canada, the bill, or even each other (I was raised by my mother and have barely seen him since I was 9).

But still, he gave me the $20 bill and said that he had another $20 just like it, and that it would be like a tradition to remember him by. Although I didn't think much of it at the time (he tried similar gestures in the past), the more I thought about it the more depressed I became. To him, this was a real gesture to repair the rift between us. I don't doubt his sincerity, nor do I think that he was a bad person. I just don't respect him and don't want him to be a part of my life, or my childrens' life.

Eventually I realized that that is how he - and perhaps his generation - was taught to approach traditions. Rather than based any anything substantive, like a shared experience or at least a shared past, they view traditions as something you buy. That's why you have a flood of Boomers with crap they don't want - someone sold them "family china" as something that they could pass down to their children. They probably kept in a cabinet (like my mother did), never using it for meals because they might "ruin" it. It use didn't matter to them, only what it represented. Then, when they're at the end of their life, they are shoked that their children have no attachment to these things. With this approach in mind, the neolib/neocon phenomenon of the last thirty years aren't suprising - sad old people desperate to create meaning but not knowing how.

I don't hate my parents, or the Boomers, but I don't want to be like them. We can be better.

>worthless bullshit ''''collections''''
They aren't collections, they are accumulations.
As in they accumulated a bunch of trash over the years.

Then they watch antiques roadshow and thing everything they own is worth thousands of dollars just because it's old.
In reality almost all of it is going in the trash when the house is sold by the children, no one wants 500 pounds of cheap china that you never use and takes up enormous amounts of space.

>>136310777
The death of the boomers will cause a massive shift in the wealth of western nations. Hopefully that causes another baby boom

>>136311973

The average millineal will spend 8x more on housing costs than their parents. For the overwhelming majority of our generation, purchasing housing is out of reach. We can also count out on inheriting housing from our parents, because most of those are mortgaged or leveraged to the hilt to fund Boomer's ridiculous lifestyle and lack of savings.

The cost of a $2000 trip to Europe's great cities is well worth it, and insignificant compared to actual housing costs today.

Car sharing is fine - suburbs are not only a blight on our enviornment and our culture (yay ugly mass produced buildings), but also our wallets. In most cities, a car is unnecessary.

It might be until Generation Z until the housing market stabalizes

The true redpill on millennials/Gen Y is that they're actually a really based gen. They're the ones who finally woke up to the system and helped kickstart a massive resurgence of conservatism/nationalism. No amount of MSM clickbait complaining about them will change that.

Sadly everything boomers think is valuable is weird ass shit like decorative plates and figurines while everything they think is trash is what's actually good.

My mom was ready to toss some oil paintings, some sweet stereo equipment from the early 80's and huge fermentation jug for making wine before I stopped her. She's already thrown out a bunch of stuff that I had fond memories of from my childhood including this old artificial christmas tree that we set up every year and all these vintage ornaments from the 70's and 80's. I was totally ready to take that for my first home and for my kids but nah, she couldn't give a shit.

Just sell it to other retarded baby boomers who are bitter and spending the rest of their money as their sad lives dwindle down to the zero timer.

sorry geezer but your junk wont sell on ebay at a high enough price to justify bothering to ship it to a buyer

I don't think it's entirely their fault. They've been taught all of these myths all of their lives - civic nationalism, racial equality, the "pure evil" of whoever America's current boogeyman at the moment is. After seeing the world in one way for so long, it becomes diffcult to see it in any other way. This was never challenged because, when they were growing up the West was on a seemingly neverending ascent.

Although the cracks in this system seem obvious now, we shouldn't be surprised that they can't see them.

What makes this worse is the knowledge that if the parents had actually USED those things in daily life, for the things that it was supposed to be used for, someone might be more willing to turn them into an actual family heirloom that has emotional value. Actually take them and then use them, down through time.

>I've worked at thrift stores for the better part of a decade

Sup fellow thrift store anon. Our store was located near a retirement community, so we had a never ending ocean of useless crap to wade through.

One lady actually brought in the mattress that her fucking husband died on, complete with a giant stain from where he shat himself in his death throes. She kept me standing outside next to that mattress for five minutes, telling me meandering and pointless stories about her husband while I just wanted to torch her shit mattress and go home. I would get boxes of unused clothes, children's toys covered in unidentified sticky shit, books with chunks missing, broken electronics, used greeting cards, etc. My worst memory was finding two jackets stuck together, then pulling them apart to unleash a cloud of diarrhea dust that I promptly inhaled.

Even now, I live in a tiny condo and recently had my aunt try to offload a storage unit after seeing "how much" empty space I had.

Every week or so my mom always tries to dump off some piece of furniture or a box full of plates or cups or some shit at my house. It's either that or some garbage health product she bought off of amazon and shipped to my house without asking. Last month she bought everyone some crappy waterpik that doesn't work. Every year we have the same fight about doing Christmas.

The main problem is that you're stuck on a cruise. I took a 12 day cruise around Europe. Made me feel like I was trapped. I was walking around doing nothing when I wasn't on shore.

The same goes for a Caribbean cruise I took.

how about over 100 MTH locomotives? I still have to get rid of those. Right now they're in a storage unit that cost me $112 per month.

I won't have a chance to sell them until this winter when there will be a train show. I will only make hardly a quarter of what the collection cost and don't get me started on how much money he wasted storing it for the last 20 years (over $45000).

I should clarify that by tiny house I don't mean "shed with electricity" where you shit outdoors and sleep in a bag. I mean a house that's built to be minimal and compact while still being a legitimate home.

Maybe it's unrealistic due to the cost of setting everything up to be functional but I'd like to look into it at least.

Which line did you go with? I've done two caribbeans, one of princess which was as you described, and one with celebrity which was the greatest vacation I've ever taken. I only spent 900 and was smashed all week, and 250 of that was gambling losses while drunk. The best part is I didn't spend the whole week driving my kids around to find shit for them to do. It's all just right there. If I were still single, I'd agree with you, so I see where you're coming from.

The 900 doesn't include ticket of course.

>they just want to have fun. Its disgusting really

My father left me a 1994 Rolex submariner, got $3500 for it. Through him I inherited my Grandfathers pistols, an arsinal rebuild of an M1911A1 (A Colt frame with a Remington slide) and a German P08 AKA Luger. I kept the guns.

The idea is that you keep something with sentimental value to remind you of them when they're gone.

>Explain this.
They grew up buying everything for their bedrooms and dorm rooms at Target and IKEA. They all had the same things. Thus, they do not know what quality or beauty is. TAlso, they are afraid to deviate from the norm, meaning, they don't want a beautiful antique dresser when all their friends have an IKEA dresser. Why? Because they would stick out and be different. They were trained to be communists, and in communism, you are all equal and all have the same things and those things are cheap, ugly, and valueless.

I've ignored multiple posts from you jackoffs that think the article is just about worthless bric a brac.

>While every generation has its turn with an attachment for antiques or nostalgia for outdated technology, today’s tech-heavy culture shows few signs of trading in its sleek, modern designs for dark furniture or knick-knacks from bygone eras. And many younger families see trips, vacations, and photos as the repository of family memories – not shelves full of mementoes.

Wow, you sound like an upper middle class cunt. The best trips I've ever had have been <1000 bucks, mostly just plane tickets and cheap hotel costs.

Keep in mind that there is the strong possibility most young dipshits today simply don't know the difference between a butt joint and a dovetail joint (and not just because most workshop programs in schools are usually cancled due to "costs") and then the strength differences in those traits of construction, and what the value of the materials being used is, and so on.

There's also the strong embarassment factor that because it's your parents things, accepting them is somehow making yourself more like your parents; Which can be good or bad, depending on that interpersonal relationship.

I'd say its a case of multiple indoctrinations conflicting with one another simultaneously, not just pure communist bullshit.
> Capitalism says "Buy new furniture from foreign companies to keep the globalist economy strong!"
> Individualism says "Buy the 'Something Unique (TM)' starter package deluxe to expresses your personality!"
> Communism says "Private property is bad but here's a shitty steel desk. Yes we know you need a table; Do not use it as a table but you can eat food on it."
> Mom and Dad says "Take the damn table, i don't care if you don't want it because you were conceived on it, YOU'RE TAKING THE DAMN TABLE."

I buy all sorts of old sears/Stevens/Jc Higgins budget shotguns and rifles from the 1920s-1940s. They are cheap, work great, and will be something I'll be proud of handing down to my grandkids. Just got a Stevens 66 yesterday.

That too. Except he only gets mad at white cashiers because he expects them to speak english. But it's ok if a mexican fucks up his order.

>>136317163

I'm still in contact with him and am always cordial.

I don't apologize for not respecting him. He doesn't respect himself and his negative choices have hurt me in the past. When I finally broke free from his influence and started to get fit, he would constantly make comments about me looking anorexic and make a point to only stock unhealthy/junk food whenever I stayed with him. Later, when I started pursuing my education, he told me that I was wasting my life because I was studying/working all the time. He still mentions these things whenever I'm around him, even though I am extremely healthy and have a sucessful family of my own and career. Most of my family is that way, so I avoid them to.

You shouldn't surround yourself with unhealthy people, they will influence your behavior consicously or unconsioucly.

"Respecting" someone just because they came in your mom is the most blue-pilled thing you can do. Weak fathers destroyed the West.

My parent's house is packed with Yellow Ware bowls and these fucking antique glass medicine bottle things. Fucking TONS of the shit. I might try to sell it.

>That's why you have a flood of Boomers with crap they don't want - someone sold them "family china" as something that they could pass down to their children. They probably kept in a cabinet (like my mother did), never using it for meals because they might "ruin" it.

>What makes this worse is the knowledge that if the parents had actually USED those things in daily life, for the things that it was supposed to be used for, someone might be more willing to turn them into an actual family heirloom that has emotional value. Actually take them and then use them, down through time.

Precisely. My dad has, as long as I've ever known, had a set of dishware that's probably worth a fair amount. plates, cups, etc - but I only ever remember us using them once. They've sat in mostly the same place for over two decades, neglected on the intangible promise of value.

On the other hand, my grandparents had a set of dishware which, while a somewhat tacky shade of amber, was used frequently when we visited them and had many family meals off of. That had been passed down to my mom, and the vast majority of it is still intact and used frequently. MY hope is that I'll inherit it because, regardless of how outdated its design is, it is a set of dishes with a degree of emotional attachment.

Unfortunately, this is not what is considered. It's only ever the "fine" stuff which has value only to the people who collected it or inherited it, then promptly stuffed it to be neglected in an equally neglected antique cabinet.

Sorry that im crumbling all your preconceived notions of generational gaps. Just keep blaming boomers though, at least that will help you sleep at night through your worthless do-nothing-but-pleasure-myself life

My parents, especially my dad, came from absolute poverty so they don't collect that much. Anything my dad owns he uses like tools or his trucks and tractor except for a couple irons and other small items that belonged to my grandmother. My mom is a bit more of a hoarder but she isn't that bad either. They're also more than willing to sell off things they no longer want and do it year round every year. When they die I'll keep anything I can use and keepsakes that remind me of my parents and grandparents and great-grandparents like the guns and old photos. I'm an only child though plus one of my uncles has no children so I'm going to end up inheriting a lot of stuff.

Supposedly, if the total value of the Earth were divided equally among all the people on Earth, it would be roughly equivalent to a sphere of gold the size of a golf ball.

Consequently, a collector of this dumb bullshit has nothing to gain by holding on to it, but wants to pass it on to their children only after they've died. Coincidentally, all the other collectors will be dying at this same time, so all the recipients of their """"valuable"""" collections get a bunch of trinkets with no practical use and no market to sell them to.

There was an anon in another thread about this that summed it up pretty well: imagine buying $10,000 worth of Amiibos today and trying to pass them on to your children 50 years from now. A bunch of cutesy trinkets that had value for you, but their place is long gone now.

My uncle has a storage unit. The weird thing about his is that when my aunt died he got rid of almost nothing of hers and it's still in there and she was the hoarder instead of him but I have to comb through it when he dies because he also just randomly put valuable family related items like old photos in there too. When he had me clean out his house one time I found an old painting behind his bed still wrapped in packaging. Ends up it was a painting he had made of my great-grandmother when he was in the Army. He puts some of the most sentimental things in odd places. I got the painting hanging on the wall now.

And it's funny in a way, most people I know fall into two categories; they either have enough money for things, and are extremely conservative with how they spend it because they grew up in the recession or they have nothing and they practice no real consideration on how they spend money because they're living day by day being barely employable retards.

I recommend travelling to places that won't exist in the future. So Western Europe I suppose, but also small towns and heavy manufacturing hubs as well.

My most prized possessions from another person is a ancestors cavalry sword from the battle of balaclava, a few odd coins my dad collected from his overseas travels and my dead brothers ring, which I wear around my neck. His suicide letter is in my safe with important documents and jewlery i never wear.

Id trade anything I own (barring what I've listed) to get one item back that my bitch mother threw away/sold after the divorce: my Napoleonic figures from a great uncle I bearly met. It's like other anons have said, value is in the memories most of all. I used to spend many a day setting out the battles and killing the men indivulaly, giving them backstories ect (each piece crafted by him was unique with such loving detail and time spent in them, are to my then young eyes.)

But no, my cunt mother took that from me as well. Hope your happy Michelle, once I get the money that was rightufully mine out of you, I'll never contact you again. Hope you for alone, you earned it.

I should really go see him. Anyway, the major issue is that things really don't have value as they once did. Time is unique, but actual material is common; a gold watch that you buy today isn't an heirloom, it doesn't cost as much as it did, it's not as unique, and it's definitely not emotionally gratifying.

My own personal prized possession is my Eagle Scout badge since that was some serious work to earn. Family heirlooms I have quite a few I enjoy. I personally own a flag the Army presented to my uncle after my grandfather died which he gave to me being my grandfather's only grandson. I also have my other grandfather's Bible he got while in the Air Force. Neither are worth anything in money but I like the heirloom value. I also have several guns from both of my grandfathers. My dad owns several other items of family value which I'll get someday. But really even this land and where I live is an inheritance in itself. This area is where my ancestors lived and worked. They fought on the local battlefields during the Civil War. They hunted these woods and fished these lakes and creeks. They built the local church and worshiped there. They were buried here and I drive by their graves daily. It all makes me feel very connected to my family.

Literally feminism. Feminism was about destroying all the patterns that had sustained western society. And in the past family heirlooms were made and past down. With the feminist assault on femininity and masculinity women no longer make their heirlooms (quilts, childrens clothes, etc) and men no longer make their heirlooms (furniture and the like).

My dad rarely missed a day of work, and got poisoned from welding galvanized steel in a panel shop for 6 years. That and the booze gave him a touch of dementia. We had a bad fight a few weeks before he died and said awful shit to one another. The degenerate alcoholism was horrible to watch, seeing your pop defile himself by getting shitfaced almost everyday. He was angry with life and used to growl "nigger" or "fucking niggers" in his drunken sleep, and I think that contributed to us being evicted from our mobile home park.

The morning he died I walked past him without making eye contact or saying a word, I got a call from my mom about 2 hours later on my break that he was dead(long story, we moved in with my mom after she got sick and the man she left my dad for died of cancer).

I swear I heard him try to say something as I walked out the door. He was up before me making coffee. Coroner placed the time of death around the same time I walked out the door.

It gives me the creeping willies thinking about it. I think he was trying to tell me goodbye as he sat dying on the couch.

I'm glad those retards lose their ass. They're the problem with the stock market, and they keep on doing it. They're the problem with land and house prices. They see the market not as a long term investment, but a get rich quick scheme, then complain forever about that the "government needs to get muh money back". They also see housing not as primary homes, but investment properties, artificially inflating the value of homes until they lose them and pawn off the damage onto all of us.

Fuck the middle class. Fuck them right in the ass. They think they can be little millionaires, but they still have the poor mentality of handling money. Stupid fucks.

that's because you can touch and use your inheritance. That's because appreciation of older cars is something that has extended well past when those cars were created.
Appreciation for contemporary figurines - when contemporary was 60 years ago - is transient. It only lasts as long as the market lasts for. It wasn't until I read this that I even knew about Hummel figurines, but the same problem that they have goes well beyond them - associating a much higher value with something that only has a temporary market. It was the same problem with beanie babies - people went crazy over them for a while, and then they were done. Some people probably still have collections of them that they value deeply, but the reality is that the collection is worthless.
That same thing doesn't apply to cars

The alcohol replaced the great man he once was with a hollow empty shell of a man. It made me rage witnessing his self destruction.

Every outlet in the house spits sparks, the ducting is a massive shit show, and the power box they used isnt strong enough for the entire house (sometimes the microwave will kill the power completely, weve went through three new ones and they all do it).

He was reaching for a way to connect with me. I assume he saw a movie where a father gave his son some foreign currency or something - the idea being that, whenever you see the item, you think of the other person, and was looking to recreate that.

Really that only works if there's some sort of sentimental attachment to the item. My dad has this cheap ass crappy knife but he's had that stupid thing my entire life and he's always used it on all sorts of stuff so I want to keep it because the thing reminds me of him.

When I was in my 20s my grade school best friend, whom I hadn't seen in years, spotted me at a grocery store and apologized for stealing so many of my toys when we were younger. I was pretty well off as a kid and I hadn't noticed them missing, and I guess he took them while I was outgrowing them. He wished he could return them to me, he said, but his dad had burned all his toys.

I'm the only person in the family who can play. I never got anything including the tapes. My parents have always been good to me, too. I don't think they meant anything by it; people are just always getting wrapped up in their personal bullshit. I wish I'd thought to just ask him to sell me the guitar.

Long story short, be sure and ask for the clock.

My wife's grandmother is the exact opposite of this. Every time anybody visits her, she gives them something. She wants to give away everything she owns away before she dies. Then again, that's sort of what this thread is about.

Ideally one has experiences and possessions. I'll always treasure the many experiences I've gained being with my family visiting places or doing things. But I also treasure being able to live where my ancestors have made home for hundreds of years now. A strong family always helps someone be successful and happy as far as I'm concerned.

>weak fathers aren't the problem weak sons are
You have it backwards you dumb fucking Kraut. The first poster was right. Weak fathers raise weak sons. Boomers were shit, their off spring is shit and their offspring's offspring is shit, ad nauseam.

Truly friend, to live and breath your history is a blessing. I feel was for people who have no personal history, no notion of what they are or where they came from. That's why you see such dick people in our societies. They have no past, or that have a limit scoped, bad one. Hence there desires to destroy the past.

In truth, most items are worthless when you look closer at them. Why can a cup be worth more than a jewel sometimes? Because of its story. It's story might be more epic than others yet that's why it has value.

Who knows? If you became famous/infamous, your personal effects could be worth as much as gold. That's just how it works I suppose.

Even if an item you treasure were to get lost to time, you'd still pine for it. I hope when I die I still have my brothers ring in some way. Even if I saw him in the afterlife. The objects an imprint on a time of my life you know?

I inherited £130k in equity at 22 following my mother's death, not that I can do anything with it since I live here with a couple of my brothers. I can't say it brings me joy, but at least I haven't had to pay rent.

Protip: The "winners" of those antiques shows on television often are winners because their great grandfather or grandfather got some nice loot from Asia during WW2.

Places like Hong Kong was filled with this stuff.

When Mao started purging anything that reminded him of China's ancient past, ancient Chinese artifacts were smuggled out and anybody in America who had an ancestor at the right time and right place, ended up bring those Chinese artifacts home like a Dragon Statue made of pure jade.

He was trying to tell you what a fucking nigger you are.
