Peter, I don't know anyone that announced we were willing to pay anything.

The only records I know of at this time that are for sale, are the ones the owner of them has announced he was asking $10,000. As far as I know, I am the only one who talked directly to him. I ask "What do you want for them" He replied " $10,000 and that is firm"

He owns them, they are his, he paid something for them, when he bought out the 2 companies the records are on.
Unless he is willing to come down, I doubt that these records come into the hobby anytime in the near future.
