How do you feel about estate sales?(buying dead peoples stuff at their home for the non Americans)

The dead are the dead to me, and even if there is an afterlife they can't take their possessions with them. So why not redistribute it among people in the here and now who can actually use it? When I have died, I'd rather see my stuff my relatives and friends can't use (and be it just for sentimental value) sold on their behalf, than to have it gather dust and rust. The best way to honour my prized possessions (such as old RPG books or smoking pipes) is to see them put into the hands of people who are able to appreciate and use them.
