I contemplate this often. When I walk into my shop, and my studio and look at the "stuff" I have.

Obviously, it has value, much of it sentimental, but some of it has a tangible value. The amps, guitars, radios, tools, etc....

Much of my studio gear would only have a value if someone wants to take the time to learn how it works, which is really doubtful. So, aside from the value of the old computer and monitor and the guitars.

Most of the stuff in the shop would go straight to the landfill because no one is going to expend the effort to sell it.

I saw this firsthand when we decided to clean out the junk in my father in law's two garages. He would drive around the neighborhood on trash night and pick up stuff he thought was valuable. Bikes, furniture, lawnmowers and more. He planned to fix it and sell it but never seemed to get to the fix it part. Literally, open the door and stuff was piled up.
We decided to clean out the junk when the city announced a special trash pickup day. Just one garage produced a pile on the curb 25ft long, 10 ft wide 4 ft high. He wasn't very happy about it. However, no sooner did we start piling stuff up and dragging out the many lawnmowers and other mechanical things, people started pulling up and rummaging through the junk and loading up their cars and trucks, some coming back for more. After we got as much out as we could on that day working only a couple of hours, the job wasn't completely done and the other garage was barely touched. We did eventually get the two garages cleaned out.

I attempt, periodically, to clean out the stuff in my shop that I haven't touched since I put it on the shelves 10 years ago. But I know it is functional and as soon as I toss it in the landfill, I will need it and then have to go buy one.
More than likely, my daughters will have to deal with it after I'm gone or whoever buys the property "as is" after I depart this earthly realm.

The struggle is real.
