Help Managing my collection after I die

[Topaz111]

I collect a lot of plushies, figurines, toys and other collectibles. They have great emotional value to me. It may sound odd, silly or childish, but they are my friends, I care about them a lot.
That being said it may come as a suprise for you that I want them to be sold after I die.
I don't want them to be thrown away or given away for free to "charity" which will end up with them getting thrown away anyway or being given to some ungrateful brat who breaks them after less than a week of use. I've seen that happen already when I was coerced into giving away most of my collection growing up and I saw how poorly it was treated by my cousin who broke most of them almost immediately.
I want my collectibles to be sold so that other collectors like me will cherish, love and take care of them. I want them to go to someone who will actually value them just as much as I do and charging money for them is a way to ensure that.
However, I'm not sure how I'd accomplish this.
I'm not going to sell them while I am still alive due to emotional reasons, in case I fail my attempt and because it would be a massive red flag to my parents that I am about to CTB.
So I have to let them know this is what I want in a note.
I know it's kind of a lot to ask for of the parents who are grieving the loss of their only child, but this is the most important thing to me. Idc what happens to my money, I mostly don't care about my corpse, but I do care about my little precious friends very very much.
I don't think there is any way I can legally enforce my family to do this, I am in Poland so I doubt anyone here can give me legal advice on this.
I guess I'll just have to write a polite request and hope they comply even without the legal pressure?
I even thought of making listings of all my items on vinted and keeping them hidden in "vacation mode" and then I'd notify my parents of this in a note along with the login info. This would greatly reduce the work it takes to sell my collection, but there is a risk that adding so many items this quickly might get my account banned or suspended :/
Plus it would likely take weeks for me to do this and I'm not sure if I can handle staying around this long.
What do you think? Do you have any advice?

Oh I thought I was the only collector here on SaSu ! I've been collecting records and movies since more than 20 years and I can relate 100% because this collection was the partner I never had, the friends I never had. You're right when you say you only want to sell the items to another collector. It's what I think too. I wrote my will last year and I explain that the whole collection should be sold for poor people. All my life I was very touched by the situation of homeless people. I have thousands of records, so impossible to sell everything as I'm alive, so I hope my family will do their best to respect this collection. A huge part of me is in this collection. I'm sure my family will keep some of my favourite movies and records (as a souvenir of me).
I hope your collection will be honoured too.

This is something I think about, too, and to some degree I have to accept that there is a very real chance that everything I've collected will end up in a dumpster. I don't like that, but once I leave, I don't have any control over it and I need to be able to let go of that control.

I do think the prospect of selling the collection, even to a dealer who specializes in inventorying and selling off collections like this, is not unreasonable. It may not be at the top of our loved ones minds, but to be crude, it is money they don't have but might like to have and that can be a motivator. I've considered doing a rough inventory to spotlight some of the high-value items and give a rough guess at the value of the overall collection, but I worry sometimes that what might feel like helpful to me will come off as ghoulish to my partner. I hope you can find the right path for yourself and your collection finds its way to a loving home. I hope the same for mine.

I have been trying to slowly get rid of/give away my things so that there'll be less to remind my family of me after. I am with you on this. There are certain actions I want taken with certain items. I've thought a lot about it and I've gone to the only conclusion and that the only way to really ensure that it gets done the way you want, is to handle it yourself before. Of course it gets harder when you bring into it the fact that your parents may notice you, I told mine I wanted to have less junk and be cleaner then I kept my favorite things, and things that I want given to people after. Of course every situation is different, so you'll have to tailor it to yours. You should keep your friends, and important things, and as much of them as you want. Just keep in mind there's no way to guarantee, and people tend to get sentimental afterwards.

What I did was I took it to some shops. Your be surprised what people would want for a bargain. Capitalism and so on. I also gave my old toys to a neighbor. Her kids looked like they've never been gifted so many old Legos and soldiers. Honestly it made me feel kinda good inside watching them go on to live without me.
