I've been through that same situation so many times. Once, when I was collecting 78RPM records, there was a big pile of them in albums behind the desk of a antiques shop owner for years. He had said they weren't for sale. Finally I got him to consider selling them, and he asked what kind of offer would I make. I said $30 (a LOT in about 1980!). He said he'd be willing to do that, but when I motioned to take a look at them he jumped "Oh no!, it's $30, but you can't look at them". Needless to say I walked away and those records stayed put until the place finally folded. The old man was probably buried with them!
