    Reminds me of the seller a year or three ago that was selling a complete set of all souvenir programs from all the Indy 500's - in mint shape.
    I never thought I'd have a chance at it - I figured it would go for 10K, so I didn't bid on it - and it went for like $150.00

    I ran some numbers earlier; if there is an error in my math please correct me.

    If you use the base number of 6,000,000 songs and multiply that by a conservative average of 3 minutes per track, you would have approximately 34 years of continuous music IF you could manage to listen 24 hours a day.

    The vinyl alone is probably worth the money. If it's in as good of shape as he suggests you could probably buy it, open an ebay store and sell it all individually for much profit.

    Yeah, that math is wrong. The cds alone, with an average of 14 songs per cd would have 4.2 million songs. If the records are all singles, well it's still 1.2 million short.

    And the vast majority of it is probably garbage. Still impressive/ridiculous.

    Heard him on the radio yesterday. Many of the albums he has multiple copies. One title he had over 100 albums all the same.

    So... there's a lot of duplication within the collection.

    he's looking for someone to buy the entire shebang and then donate it to a recording museum. He's in his 60's with some health confitions and wants to spend his time with his kids and grandkids.

    It is an amazing collection.
