with set lists and details... No one is going to bid 95k, more
than 1 to 3 year's pay depending on what you do, when there's
just some blurry pictures, incomplete lists, and his word that
it's worth that much. Even a consortium would have a difficult
time pulling that together in the time allotted. It's just absurd.
And if he's really out of work and needs the money, shouldn't
that imply that he has the time to sort it out and sell it off set
by set?

Sorting out by set REALLY isn't worth it. Trust me. Now it is true that
one could sort into related parts and sell those off, and in fact, if
the collection is at all sorted, this can be very easy.
