I was looking at that auction and reminded of a few folks who collected a full set of components, OT Superbe or XC-Pro bobster stuff or whatever, then try sell it asking a small fortune for their costly efforts. This seller would do better recovering his "investment" by parting it out, imo, because few buyers would choose the very same mix of parts and so would prefer to roll their own project.
