Karma will be at work here! If you got sick from just a brief exposure to the mold in that house, and those people moved in to live there, their health will soon be shot to hades and back. The medical bills will more than outweigh any bargain they made on the house. Excess mold exposure in a damp house can get really unpleasant, very quickly.
Weird that they'd be in such a big a hurry to get everyone out. You'd think if they were going to haul the stuff to the dumpster anyway, they'd give you time to carry it off for them. They could always stand at the door to make sure people didn't remove stuff that they had bought (i.e., steal from them), if that was their worry.
Anyway, on the bright side, congratulations on getting a bunch of radios and tubes. Despite the sad fate of the roundie, it sounds like you did make out well, overall!
