First of all, let me say welcome Valerie...
Next..
I would be vary hesitent to sell off grandpa's fishing equipment....
call it "Bad Carma/Bad mojo" if you will...
the day will come when those peices will have by far more worth than what you gain from sales at any auction. even if you get 10 times what grandpa paid for them...
I would love to have gotten a peice, any single peice of my granpa's old fishing items when they passed. I never even got to fish with either of them.
now my adoptive grandpa, I received a rod and reel and a trolling motor, On loan you might say for one day I will have to pass them on to some one else in the family. every thing but the reel. It fell apart hauling in walleye....
I received a few peices from my dad, I wont sell them either... hopefuly I will have a rugrat of my own one day, if not I have plenty of nephews and neices who might find giving them a home and using them a special treat.
I know this is not the answer you are looking for, but it is the best answer. For when they are gone, they are gone forever! there is no getting that peice of dad or grandpa back...
