I wasn't planning on going, no. It's my wife's birthday, we are leaving for a long trip the following day, the dog ate my checkbook, etc. etc.

But yes, buying from widows is a way of finding great deals. The guy who accumulated this collection was a bit of a hoarder, so the family needs to move it out in order to sell the house.
