Do you need some more music?

For fifty years, Paul Mawhinney has been buying records. He's now got three million of them and - as his health starts to decline - he's looking for a buyer for his entire collection. He wants to find a caring buyer:

The History of American music belongs in a museum or a library; a place where people who love music and have an interest in history and popular American culture can look, listen, touch, read and appreciate this legacy for future generations. It could be part of a stand-alone music museum, a major exhibit in an existing museum, or the basis of a university music library. Cleverly arranged and displayed, and surrounded by additional cultural memorabilia, the collection could even become a tourist attraction.

We’re seeking a buyer who will guarantee to keep the collection intact (other than to sell duplicate copies, if so desired) and to keep the music alive for the enjoyment and music lovers, now and for years to come.

If you represent a museum, library, university, or charitable foundation, or you’re a philanthropist interested in purchasing the collection and donating it, please contact the owner’s representatives for more information, pricing and a personal on-site inspection.

Oddly, though, he's seeking this philanthropist through eBay. The opening bid being sought is three million dollars, but there is good news...

You can get ten quid back on that if you use an eBay credit card.

Unless he's got "All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling", I ain't bidding!
