(...) This could backfire on the seller, then, if the only reason for the auction is to get a value for insurance purposes.

(...) I've been there too... I've never fully sorted all of 20000 pieces I took on.

(...) 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 (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.org.us.gardenslug)
