Has anyone ever bought anything from him? 

If the answer is 'no', then its clear he is a seller but a collector/hoarder.

Not that there is anything wrong with that!

Thanks.

Probably under $500 as that would be a 5 hour round trip.

Around $400 would be better :)

I can't quite figure out his deal, but guess he has something of a hoarder mentality, is slightly greedy/wants absolute top dollar and is emotionally attached to his giant stash.

I've had a deal banged out twice on one of his items -price hashed out, meeting place, day-, but when the fateful day comes, he doesn;t answer his phone or respond to emails.  It is totally aggravating, yet I'll likely give it one more shot here in the future... I'm a glutton for punishment!

He responded back to me tonight and said I sent him too many superfluous emails.   My emails were asking him about the condition and for pictures.  Also asked him several times when I could meet to pick them up.   He said there are too many tire kickers and lifetime audiophile auditioners on Craigslist and that after ten emails back and forth he stops responding.....LOL.

Tom - how many emails did we send back and forth over the past week?   Had to be twenty.   I guess communication is bad!!

Told him i would still drive out there and pick them up tomorrow - of course got no response.   I don't think they really are for sale - any of it.  He complains about tire-kickers, he is the real tire kicker.
