AIBU to sell these?

[GruffBillyGoat]

Being the eldest child in a divorce I have somehow become the family treasure keeper, mum's veil, dad's childhood pictures, every family photo, and so on.

Amongst these are a pair of silver goblets that my grandmother (now deceased, recently enough that that was really hard to type) purchased and had engraved for their silver wedding anniversary. Unfortunately that anniversary happened to be the day they decided to announce their divorce, and the engraved goblets now stand as a sort of grave stone to their failed marriage. I realty they say "mum & dad, 19?? - 200?" I read "Here lies the marriage of mum & dad, 19?? - 200?".

Would I be unreasonable to sell these for scrap? Normally I would just go ask grandma, but I can't do that anymore and I am truly lost.

I am usually very sentimental, and can't bring myself to get rid of the veil or anything like that, but these goblets seem like a morbid reminder of a very hard time in our lives. Maybe I just want a strangers permission to do something I really want to do.

Are they yours to sell?

I would sell them

Depends who they belong to. Doesn't mean that because you are the treasure keeper that everything is yours to do with what you want. Effectively you are just the care taker with no sole rights. The exceptions are things that specifically been given to you.

I'd chuck them in the attic and decide when things are a lot less emotional.

But if you're that broke and desperate for cash, I'd sell them.

My parents don't want to hear about them, they have no interest in them whatsoever. I have many treasures that I am keeping safe for my brother, well for his future children, and he is aware of them, I would never sell anything that he has some claim to but the goblets were given to me rather than entrusted to me so I do have the right to sell them.

I have mentioned the goblets to my brother, and his exact words were "I don't give a fuck", they are not really a family possession. They remained with grandma until her death, were given to mum because no one else wanted them then dumped on me so everyone else could pretend that they don't exist.

Thank you for the advice, I think I'm going to sell them. And if they wont sell I will melt them into bullets myself, you never know when a werewolf will show up. I'd rather be the crazy lady with silver bullets, than the crazy lady with the divorce memorial. Also I think grandma would get a good chuckle out of the silver bullets.
