The Value of Items You Inherit

In recent years, I've been getting more and more queries from people who have inherited mounds of things from family members who traveled to or resided in Asia decades ago, before, during, or soon after World War II. Only sometimes do these items have significant monetary value. In most cases though, their value is cultural and historic. Please don't throw out your stuff if it cannot be sold without first determining if it is worthy of being preserved in a library, archives, or museum collection somewhere.
