Yes. I have been aware of this guy for a while. It's not a typical business as far as I know. He just sells items and has some in storage. He had called VCF to see if he could sell certain items at extremely high prices (IBM machines I recall). According to Connor he had tried to sell them at a high price on ebay about 2 years ago (?), then lowered it a few months ago, but still unsuccessful. I told Ryan Schiff about it, and he was going to try to explain to the guy that the prices were way too high. I don't know what happened after that. I just know that when I called the guy on the phone, I explained that we are a non-profit organization and a museum and we don't buy artifacts. We just accept donations. If anyone is interested in buying items from him, then let me know in a private email and I will give you his phone number. It's likely that he hasn't sold the items. I think he said he did work on repairing them so he was trying to get some of that money back in repairing them.
