Hoarding/Tool Collectors Gold Mine

Older friend of mine who recently lost his brother (only 52) asked me if I needed any tools. We head to the house and go into the basement. My jaw hits the floor at the amount of tools and equipment that I saw in the basement. The funny thing was he was attorney and must have made decent money, but was always broke. Now his brother knows where all his money went. You can't do any work down there since its so packed but all the equipment is brand new or like new. This isn't just a bunch of crappy Harbor Freight items either. Most of the tools are from respected brands or custom ordered. Just from what I could see without digging in deeper included the following.

4 large tool chests (Craftsman/Husky) - Full of tools
2 large dust collectors
Drill press
Lathe
Overhead crane
Power tools, all kinds (DeWalt, Milwaukee, etc)
All kinds of woodworking tools and tons of furniture quality wood
Gas powered chain saws, hedge trimmers, outdoor equipment
Reems of electrical wire, electrical equipment, brass pipe valves, etc etc
10 gal and 3.5 gal parts washers - brand new in box

I feel a bit silly even trying to describe it since it's something someone has to see to believe. All of it is for sale and he needs to move the items quickly. I will be going over there on Sunday to snatch up the items I want like one of the big tool boxes and likely a few other items. I believe he is doing a big sale the following weekend.
