When I helped a neighbor ham's widow dispose of his stuff about ten 
years ago, she got EVERYTHING except what I had to pay for shipping. I 
did all the packing. Buyers picked up the antennas and power amps. I 
bought all of the hard line. Ditto for a few years ago when a neighbor 
ham moved out of his house and moved onto a sailboat! In fact, with the 
widow, I categorized his huge junkbox, coax, hardline, and antennas. I 
coordinated more than dozen or so of his friends to take down his 
antennas and his towers. At least three guys did the climbing, with lots 
of help on the ground. And when we had sold as much as we could, several 
of us helped her drag what was left to several ham swap meets.

I took a bunch of the stuff I wanted, and paid her what anyone else 
would have paid for it.

This is the ham radio that I grew up in, and I hope my XYL be treated 
that way too.
