I haven't been posting here too much lately, as I have been consumed with things going on, 
but I have been meaning forever to clear this up relating to this thread....

So what ended up happening is I bought them. 
The short of it is. I called the person, reached him and 
said I was interested and asked if come the next day to see them. 
I did and we were able to work out an agreement that I beleive was good for both parties.  
When I was leaving he asked what he should say to the other people who had contacted him.
I said I really don't know, and he said he could keep it confidential.  He was a nice person 
who stumbed upon the stuff in an attic of an old house he bought.  
I have gone through some of the things and will bring a bunch of it to plugfest for the 
raffle table, trades and maybe some  give aways.
