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).
