I ran across this listing on eBay:

Lego museum. DISPLAY, Statue, and DONATIONS NEEDED

We are going to open a LEGO museum. We need TONS of blocks, displays, and any other lego “stuff” we can come up with. Presenters gain a place in HISTORY. We are selling space on a Plaque that will be put on the front of the building, as well as smaller plaques that will be put in front of individual display items. We are also purchasing LARGE amounts of special items for this project. Those people will not be included in the plaques, but will be put in a buying bio at the computer room (lego games a’ running). We will have a web sight in the NEAR future, and we already have purchased the building (old school house, 36,000 sq.) so we have all the room in the world to do this.

Anyone know anything about this? I’d like to hear more if so.

I have contacted them about a week ago, they said they'd get back to me, but no contact since then. I'd love a place that I can reach in 2 hours, and where I can park my Lego collection. If this turns out to be a legit museum, I'll be more than (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I don't know if this makes a difference but Ebay removed the listing, wonder why? John P (16 years ago, 27-Feb-08, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) I stumbled upon this very cool museum a few weeks ago, while traveling for work. They hadn't yet opened for the season, but luckily my job brought me back to the area a week later, and I was able to take a sprinting tour on my lunch break. (...)
