WOW What a Collection.You could make 10 k easy of just the larger pieces. of course keeping one of each for yourself
Completely disagree. The guy was claiming at least 5k worth of labour which I don't buy and then using that to offer him $5k for the lot, when the entire thing was worth 20k.

There's was nothing clueless about it- just pure thumbscrewing. Good on the owner of the collection for telling him where to go.
