[QUOTE="Somer, post: 52916, member: 379"] What he said: "Given the above, an actual, useful Plan wouldn't just say "eBay," it would have appropriate text describing all the features of interest to potential bidders in a file for the widow to cut/paste into an eBay listing. Clearly, having such material prepared by the person who knows the bike best would maximize the eventual sale price, as well as save the grieving widow a great deal of effort at a time when she will be dealing with a lot of other things. Equally clearly, putting all of this together requires a lot more time and effort on the part of the not-yet-deceased than simply saying "eBay" and thinking they're a hero for leaving that one-word "Plan" for the widow." Yep, just picture your spouse fielding numerous questions "Numbers match, any repop?,All cadmium correct? Buy it now price?,I'll send you a check and there will be extra in there, just send me the balance, "Bike not as represented, I stopped PayPal payment". It can go on and on. I met one woman who was good at handling an estate. Her husband tagged everything. She had been to enough meets too to know a little. They will find out what a headache you left them that they will want to dig you up and kill you again..... [/QUOTE]
