Given summat years ago - now worth few quid :/

haaammit · 14 Jun 2011 at 23:40

Was given summat several (+/- 20 years) and have now found out it's worth (at the moment) a grand or so.

What to do? Sell it and profit, or keep, and hand down to my daughter to profit in 20 more years or so or keep and give to hypothetical 2nd child?

(I could do wi a grand - new monitor - car back on the road - etc etc etc)

Daughter has a fair inheritance coming soon (to be held in trust). 2nd hypothetical child has nowt - certainly from an inheritance pov.

Keep artefact and hope it gains in value to pay into hypothetical child's account, or blow it on me or what?

In before "What is it?"

Cleeecooo · 14 Jun 2011 at 23:42

Just sell it.

What is this second child you speak of?

Just open a bank account for ur kids when they are born and just pay like £250 a month or whatever you can.

I have never heard of a summat. Is it the top of a mountain? Or a mat that does sums perhaps?

Sell it and pay someone to teach you how to spell "something".

JayMax · 14 Jun 2011 at 23:44

Is it a platinum based summat?

Reading that post gave me a headache. I think you should buy a dictionary.

haaammit · 14 Jun 2011 at 23:46

It is """""something""""" (is that better) worth +/- £1000

I've got several - I just cba to use them

Depends if the things you need now are important. Car back on the road sounds mildly important and should also better the lives of your children if you can take them places they need to go etc.

Also how likely is it to keep its worth? If it could become less valuable just sell it and bank the money.

What do you mean +/- £1000? Is it stolen?

If it's potentially worth -£1000 at the moment then you might as well keep it.

Ewaf · 14 Jun 2011 at 23:50

Just sell it, £1000 is hardly a life changing sum.

haaammit · 14 Jun 2011 at 23:50

No - not stolen - was given to me by my dad - it also has quite a lot of sentimental attachment

G-MAN2004 · 14 Jun 2011 at 23:50
