I wrote this seller a note on behalf of the club asking if he would be interested in donating the lot to the club. I did mention club history and the fact that we were a 501(c) tax deductable organization. Here is his answer. I answered him back in a kind but knife twisting way. Nice fella. I look forward to never doing business with him.

> Of all the things I've put on eBay over the years (and I've put some pretty rare items on in the past), I've never had as many hits or as many people marking it as watched as this item. I've also had offers over the asking price. If your organization has 2800 members, then do the math. You'd have to solicit only about $40 from each member to come up with a good offer. As for donating the items, the answer isn't just NO, but HELL NO. I'm not giving this stuff away to anyone, any group, or any thing.
