It most definitely was no troll.

Too many of us seniors, who used to collect stamps, are in a similar
situation.

For many of us, sooner than sell below a fair price to some crooked dealer,
by burning our collections we at least get the satisfaction of denying some
thief the chance to profit from us.

Not all of us have worthwhile charities nearby, either.

A friend has admitted that in disgust with offers to buy
from so-called reputable dealers, he has now started to
burn his huge collection.

He says that the offers to buy were so insulting,
he feels that by burning his collection, at least
he will be denying the crooks the chance to make
money from him.

Apparently his children have no interest in stamp
collecting, since they are busy with new families.

Like my friend, I also am disgusted with the larger
dealers, and have found no worthwhile charities to
which I would bequeath my collections.

Is burning the only sensible solution?

Comments from all, invited.


This is a troll in the disguise of the so-called "friend". Do not
take it seriously.
