@redman042:

he'll have the last laugh when he makes about 300 G's off this sale.

This collection is not going to fetch 300 grand, or even a third that. It reminds me of collecting baseball cards as a kid. Sure, there is the occasional card that might be worth something, but as a collection, they ultimately are not worth much at all. The thought of a collection being 'valuable' is just a way we justify to ourselves holding on to something that has very little value compared to what we originally paid.

That said, I applaud this person waking up one day and realizing that he has a ton of junk filling his house and it is time to move on. Life is too short for stuff like this.
