It definitely happens. I started selling stuff off in 2015 because my dad was showing signs of dementia. It was at that same time my mom suddenly passed away. Then I really got serious about selling off everything I had Mopar muscle car related. I spent the next few years helping my dad until it just became to much to manage. He passed in mid 2022. I am so glad I had the foresight to clear out my collection before he got to the point he could not enjoy them any longer. I didn’t have to worry about cars for those years. Now that we have all that settled I am thinking it is time to enjoy the hobby again on a MUCH smaller scale.
