There's a bidding programme aired on BBC (i can't remember the name of it) but people are always selling their inherited things on that programme dating back to whatever... the older it is, the more intact it is, the more its worth... and they certainly don't look like they're in any kind of financial crisis... when their item gets sold, the host asks them what they'll do with the money and they're like "ooohhh a nice warm holiday" rolls eyes
back to ur question: I think the answer is quite clear from the responses above.
