I'm sorry, but thats the most selfish thing to do ever... soon they will end up with a pile of rust and then think that maybe they should have sold it.
Most people like that
never regret holding onto that kind of thing. I know of someone who had an extremely rare old sports car on his farm. Not a day would go by when someone would knock on the door asking to buy it. The guy got fed up with them all and he hauled it into his barn, making sure you could see it from the road. After he found a few people who'd heard of it peeping into his barn windows looking for it, he actually strung barbed wire all the way around it. He kept saying he'd 'get to it someday' but he was in his 70s and nobody believed he'd do anything with it.
Didn't stop people from calling, showing up at all hours of the day. The last straw came one afternoon when someone really berated him for being so 'selfish' by not selling something he'd clearly never do anything with. I actually saw this happen as I was friends with the guy next door to this old guy, the old man took a blowtorch and set the barn on fire. When the fire department showed up (he didn't call them), he refused to let them put it out. The car was a twisted, charred hulk when it was over. My friend did ask him months later after the furor died down, the old guy said he just got fed up with all the people telling him he didn't have the right to do whatever he wanted
with his own property.
And in
that sense, I can't really say I could say he was wrong in that regard.
