Well, in the discussion with my buddy, we basically came up with the summation of most of the points made in the thread, though still maybe logically flawed. He currently rents, and collects modern (which I see lesser "investment" potential in) so we concluded, for him, liquidating would be the right choice, because he'd merely be swapping asset classes. For me, I already own a house, so if I bought another, the current one would turn into a rental. I also collect mainly in pre-60s, so I see better longterm value in the collection. So in his case we ended at a clear sale, for myself, a little more convoluted.
