It reminds me of the story about the two friends who encounter a lion...the one says to the other, you can't outrun it. His "friend" turns to him and says, I don't need to outrun the lion, I just need to outrun you!!
So your collecting strategy is to wait for other collectors to die? That's pretty morbid.

Pete, I keep hoping that I'll find a Nadja Miller lying on the ground somewhere so that I can trade it to you for one of those E105 Millers!

I work for a life insurance company.

Honestly, we've had so many threads about fellow members dying and "are you worried about our hobby dying?", "have you talked to your family about what to do with your collection when you meet your maker", the Bruce(s), the Richard Merkin collection, etc. that it's hard not to think about it.

And no, that's not my "strategy". Admittedly, my post didn't correctly relay my attempt at dark humor. If I'm fortunate enough to not have to sell my collection before my death, I'll be sad to miss out on what my collection realizes at auction after death. That'll be a good auction IMO!
