I'm not being morose just realistic.
There will come a point ( I suspect) when I shall no longer be able to fish....certainly not in certain ways or for certain species. So....what to do with the gear which I've accumulated over a lifetime of fishing ? I have some very good rods which have a resale value, a lot of mid range stuff which ought to fetch a few quid and some budget enders. Then there are reels...I've a few nice pins and some decent fly reels. And that's just the users....never mind the collection of vintage reels some of which are also worth a few quid although some are largely decorative.
Either way there's a lot of it and I'd hate it to end up trashed but only I know what is good and what it might fetch. I suspect it might be a tidy sum too.
So....do I list and value it now ?
Start getting rid of some of it now?
Do nothing and let somebody else sort it out when I've weighed in my last net ?
Its not something I've ever really thought about until recently when I started telling myself I didn't need x rod or y reel because I've only so much fishing left in me.
