Is there a way to approach a family about a loved ones cars?

[SS427]

In my business I run into this quite often with parts and/or cars. I have always let it go and never inquire as I just felt it was a conflict of interest for me and think the family would assume I am just trying to profit on their loss. I have lost out on some really good parts and cars so I too am following this to see the best way to approach it. Sometimes the families will approach me and that is different and can deal with that.

As a fireman/EMT I also have been on scene of a few deaths over the years where people are big collectors of parts/cars or memorabilia. I also have to walk away from those unless they bring it up to me.
