My thoughts on the donations to museums is that some honestly believe (rightly or wrongly) that what they have is unique and should be well kept for generations to come. Besides, most funeral sales don't yield anywhere near market values for the widow. There are two potentially historically significant WW2 era guns in my brother-in-law's posession since his father passed, that I recommended he either sell to a museum that has offered to purchase or donate them or put them on "loan". But to keep them under a bed for a pachuko pete to steal and rob liquor stores with would be insane. So far, no movement by him. They're still under the bed.
As for Bwhoop, I don't guess it matters what us nose pickers think. The guy that ends up with it probably didn't have to dig deep enough into his piggybank that it changed the way he lives.
