I would expect someone on ebay to get MUCH MORE for all this......

$100 is a steal,its very good but the stuff is MUCH MORE VALUABLE than $100!!

He was lucky

You realize that's 30-40 large filing cabinet drawers, right. You could stack 2 eight foot wide 60s color TV stereo combo consoles and then some in the space it takes up.

A few years ago I got the collection of Indian Head electronics of Eau Claire Wi for free they had been picked by dozens of vintage electronics collectors and the Sam's were all that was left. I left the cabinets and barely fit the 30+ drawers in my Chevy suburban.
They were a distributor so some sets there were multiple copies of and others there were none. I tried to give away the duplicates at several radio collector swapmeets and except
for one drawer they all went to recycling as nobody would take them. "I only want the radio folders not all the other equipment covered" was a common complaint of prospective buyers.
