Seems to me he is being honest and up front. Maybe no AHs here, but possibly some high grade and/or cameo stuff. With that many sets, might be a nice score since the per set price is probably going to be pretty cheap.
No, he said he cherrypicked them already and didn't find what he was looking for which is why they were up for sale. I bet this guy has had dealer offers for stuff in the past, which is why he's selling directly to the collectors. There's a lot of shady characters who own coin shops that would pay this guy a tenth of what the stuff is actually worth, even allowing for markup.

Two things, if you look at some of the items he has purchased off Ebay such as rolls of Morgans, he has to be a dreamer and has a lot of time on his hands. Secondly there is nothing wrong with bidding on an auction regardless of who else is bidding on it. Bid what you are willing to pay for it period. If you are a board member and have 14 board members bidding on something, would you care? What is the difference in listing something on the B/S/T Board and solicting offers?
