There is some sad stuff.
Years ago, I received a call to buy a very nice 50's Lionel boxed set with a Lionel Virginian FM diesel. It was like new, fully boxed and was a super set.
I offered market price and went to pick up the set. When I arrived, the woman and her husband said "I'm sorry but we just cannot sell this set. We bought it for our son as a Christmas present but he was struck by a car as he was getting off the school bus and he was killed." I don't blame them for not selling it. I showed them how to archivally pack the train so it would not rust or be damaged.
