Pretty amazing and tough story...but heres the good news:
The Collection was won on eBay for $3,002,500 by 'jopsoup', from Ireland. Not much is known about the mystery buyer but he's got 97% Positive feedback on his account, and sources say he is a legitimate buyer. Here what the winning bidder gets.
From Thomas Edison to American Idol, this is the complete history of the music that shaped and defined five generations. 3 million records and 300,000 CDs containing more than 6 million song titles. It’s the undisputed largest collection of recorded music in the world. About half of the recordings are new and never played, and every genre of 20th century music is represented. There are countless rare recordings worth hundreds, or even thousands of dollars each on the collectibles market. Organized and cataloged, the collection is meticulously maintained and housed in a climate-controlled warehouse. The estimated value of this amazing collection is more than $50 million.
