I believe if you sell while still alive you will owe taxes on the profit on any of the items. For example: you brought a set at $100 years ago and now it is $ 2000, the profit would be $ 1900. If your children received it after you died, it would transfer to them ( current market value) at a $ 2000 item and if they sold it for $2000 then no taxes. Therefore don't sell before you pass away unless you really need the money. Avoid taxes if you can.
