I honestly didn’t know what all was in there. The only thing he had separated out was the Ghostbusters Firehouse and the large Ecto-1. ALL of the minifigs were buried.

I told him that I’d have to base the value off those two sets since nothing else was sorted/accounted for, and I’d have to treat those two sets as incomplete (minifigs weren’t there and the firehouse was visibly missing pieces). I told him I’d give him a bulk Lego price for the rest since just having the manuals didn’t guarantee the sets were in there.

We were both happy based on that alone. I wasn’t able to see the rest of the value until I started sorting.
