Unless the lot was almost purely rare sets, I wouldn't pay over $20,000 for 2,000
pounds.  I refuse to pay over $10/lb unless there are TONS of rare pieces/sets in
a lot that I want.  I rarely pay over $5/lb anymore (which of course means I am
outbid on Ebay a lot more often, which is fine considering I STILL haven't sorted
bulk lots from over a year ago).

Ok, he emailed me. I will try to get together with him ASAP so there is • time
to process what I find.

I am still waiting for him to call me. I am becoming more skeptical, but
maybe he will prove me right.

Well forget it. He emailed me and told me the amount of money he was
wanting, it is way high. I don't think it is worth my time to go look at the
Lego and you guys would never raise enough money for this lot, given the
documentation he has provided.

I will not make the reserve price public, but believe me I was shocked.

Somewhere in the "high 5 figures" is what he put in the auction notes.  I'd
guess, since he called the 'minimum value' 50 grand if he broke it up, that
he's looking for 80 or 90 grand.

Based on what his claims are about his collection, it might be a reasonable
expectation - but I'm stressing the *might*.

But anyone who expects anyone to drop 5 figures on ANYTHING based on some
pictures & a 7 day deadline...well, they're either looking for a sucker, or
seriously need to re-evaluate their expectations.
