this might be a bit morbid, but I always get sad whenever I see a machinist's tools dumped in an array of boxes, machines on CL and the like, not just because that person is dead but also that none of the relatives care enough about his (sometimes hers) tools enough to use them and pass them on. I still have the tools my dad gave me when I was old enough to know how to use them (his cast offs basically!) and I know I'll have a fun fight with my brother over the contents of his garage when he pops his clogs, whenever that might be.
I'm all for a good CL or eBay find and I know that those tools will get reused by someone else, just seems a bit sad, that's all. I guess that the person to whom those tools belonged isn't in much of a position to care though.
