Actually sat down with a couple buddies and started trying to intelligently put some REALISTIC value on this stuff at one point a while back. There are a couple important factors, not the least of which is the location, they're not in a land where anyone should be trusted, especially when dealing with 6 figure price tags. Another HUGE consideration is the condition of any of this gear.

Broken/blown 728b's take a HUGE hit in value, as does just about every other piece of gear listed. Consecutive s/n models 9's sound impressive, until you discover a non-working power or OPT.

Without investing in plane tickets, hotel fare, meals, hiring a technician/consultant w/crew and test gear, you could not even begin to have a comprehensive assessment of value for that lot. It would be a several thousand dollar investment just to determine what's there and it's condition in order to make an educated and intelligent offer.

Ultimately, and even with the purchase power at hand, we could not justify an offer at even 40% of the asking price. Too many unknowns making it a colossal gamble.

As one huge lot at that price, it will still be for sale after most of us are dead and gone.

The owner/seller here is going to get a valuable lesson in the value of the "hoard". If he wants a fair shake for this stuff, he's gonna work for it.
