What happens to your equipment when you passed away?

Who “plans” it? That’s outside our scope.

Generally if you're part of community maker spaces or groups, people tend to help each other out with estate sales. I haven't thought about it more seriously but perhaps if I get sick or lucky enough to get into my mid 60s or 70s then I'd probably downsize as much as possible, at least with the expensive items. Smaller ones can be donated to interested people, people aren't going to turn down freebies.

We could fit people with that. :-DD

This is a difficult subject. My dad is having some health problems, and has decided to get rid of all of his stuff. I had to go to the thrift store and get the power supply he built when I was 7. (with help from the neighbor and our friend.) I also saved some old equipment my dad got from a surplus dealer. (I've mentioned them in past posts) I found the receipt in one of them, dated 1976. I don't have any kids. I don't think anyone else cares about this stuff.
Maybe my nephew. I should find out. When my mom said he was interested in electricity/electronics, I told my mom to give him dad's multimeters.
