I have a dilemma and need some suggestions. [View all]

I am going to die in a few years (now this isn't a woe is me, boo hoo rant) and have decided what I am doing with all my stuff. The only thing I can't decide is who to leave my small but very good record collection to. I don't want to sell them or leave them to anyone else who might end up doing that. I really love my records and if I sold them as an entire collection or individually on ebay I would be able to get thousands of dollars. I have rare ones, originals, complete artists' libraries, etc. of rock music mostly from the 60s and 70s. My family and friends either aren't into this type of music or if they are I don't trust them NOT to sell them. I want someone who really appreciates the actual physical record and cover and the music as much as I do. I met someone at the supermarket while I was wearing an old Pink Floyd t-shirt and posed this dilemma to him. He had this problem himself (his collection is much bigger than mine is) and he said that he's going to have them melted into an urn to keep his ashes in. That hadn't occurred to me but I don't really want to do that myself. Any ideas?
