<DIV>I have to be honest, there is no one at all in my family, not even my
nieces and nephews, who would appreciate my Groo Stuff or other comic
collectibles.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would hope they would sell them, and in fact offer them first to
the Groop if we are still around at that time, when the time comes for me
to kick the bucket.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, I have no problem with the buying or selling of personal
possessions, whether at an estate sale or otherwise. I think we sometimes
bristle because of the stories offolks who have taken advantage of
Sergio's kindness for profit. This is something else. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ya know, it might actually be a good idea for me to put in my will
that my Sergio Originals should first be offered for sale to The Groop!
Thre re pieces i should will to individuals outright, as well! </DIV>
