Went in today and picked up a few CD's.  The owner wasn't there so I asked how long they'd had the pin.  The woman I spoke to turned out to be the wife and she says "my husband's had it for years, why, do you want to buy it?".  My one word response was "Yes".  I think she was surprised and didn't know what to say.  She said he might sell it $2500.

I told her there's a lot to be done but didn't say any more (thinking - $2500 - I'm outta here if that's what he wants).  Will send the guy an email and see if he is serious about selling and go back down an talk to him in person if he is.

I was thinking of sussing him out, and starting at $500.  You never know your luck.

If not - nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Will keep you posted.

Thanks for the ideas so far guys
