A lot of this stuff is pretty rare in the US, but given the sorry state of this collection (and poor photos), it's hard to tell what exactly a buyer would be getting. I'd imagine this is some old geezer who's been hoarding this stuff for years, with now failing health, realizes you "can't take it with you", and wants get some money for his grandkids, or something.
Eh, no interest, really, I just sometimes like to imagine the lives of people who sell stuff like this. 
I started this purge a while back. After a couple of visits to the local flea market I realized I don't want to be one of these sad phuqrs with a storage room or table piled with "crap" I kept because "someone can use it." I hate throwing out working stuff, but I also can't invest in storage for someone's future use to whom I will likely wind up giving it, anyway.
That and I really value my "collections" enough that I would rather in my untimely, or timely, demise my next-of-kin won't have to just load it all into a bin or put it up in some general garbage collection, they will know what they have and if it has value they can get something for it, or get it to someone who will appreciate it.
Hey Pat, I was being sarcastic. I might give $500 for the lot, if that.
Thinking the same. I've talked with people who do these estate sale and storage unit auction buys. Based on discussions with them they'd likely go $500 to $1,000 for that. There can't be too much time involved. They're generally looking for one or two items to make the buy worthwhile, maybe a few, but over all this kind of mess could go in the skip. A sad reality.
