Your wrong, he can probably make $30.000 to $40.000 from that. When people collect for 30 to 40 years, they can collect things worth millions. Depending on what it is, they collect. I was given a painting in a frame, I said wait! there's something going on here. Under neath it, was one from 1878.
@MarkChapman-nx4ln she knew enough to ask 5 figures. It’s hard to value a collection like this and the number of man hours this guy is going to have wrapped up in parting it all out. It would take her several years as novice with these collectibles to extract the value and likely she wouldn’t get it all. So she is paying for someone else to manage that problem. It’s the same in any business. You might pay a guy to fix your car, or clean your yard. If you think they are worth it you pay. She clearly thought this was a fair offer so win win. Not to mention her dad passed away, one less headache while trying to grieve.
