Just wondering if there was any further info or news on this auction?

I dont have a clue. He stopped emailing me the item lists after the 1st 2 and I haven't seen or heard anything since. I know he was emailing both Badmike and Cougar too though, so maybe they made a deal.  No matter what though, I can guarentee no one was going to pay $15,000.00 for that lot unles it got a whole lot better than what I received.

A couple of people asked for lists of the items, because he hadn't listed anything on the auction aside from "starts from the early 80s" and stating that they were in good condition.



Lists 1 & 2 were long, but didn't really have anything that stood out as amazingly rare.



Maybe Coug cut a deal with him though, as clarkie said.



(I think the original post was on "interesting items currently on ebay", the old topic).

For posterity, here is the link:

Suprisingly enough no one bid.

yeah the stuff was shite as well...

I've sent a few emails back and forth to the guy.  He's told me that he's going to get his shit together and now realizes he needs to make out full lists if he wants to get his moneys worth, so he's not going to make a return until he has everything he wants to auction totally listed with condition.  I've offered to drive over to his place and give him an honest evaluation, or help him divide the stuff up into sets,  or make him an offer on the stuff, since he lives fairly close, so we'll see what happens.  While he doesn't seem to have anything overwhelmingly valuable, he does have a remarkable variety and depth of items that would serve a reseller very well  :D   I just think like mentioned on this boards he probably needs to be a little more realistic about how much he could get in the Ebay marketplace selling it off in large chunks instead of painstakingly selling the items individually.
