I have been contacted by a guy in Buffalo NY who has just taken ownership of a massive stash of Alpine and Tiger parts. "Massive" as in he filled up his Suburban 4 times and still needed a small trailer to get everything. He has engines, transmissions, sheet metal, trim, etc. He isn't a Sunbeam guy and isn't sure what to do with everything, nor is he sure of the value of what he now owns. He has told me several times that he wants to get the "collection back out into the hands of people that can use it", although I know he isn't interested in giving things away. I have told him he has two basic choices: 1) if he wants to maximize his profit, he can start selling things on ebay, on various forums and at events. Based on what I have seen, that will take him years. Or, 2) he can try to sell everything as a lot (or perhaps several smaller lots) for a reasonable price to someone who will then sell the individual parts to the community. He's considering his option, but if anyone here wants to explore buying the lot, he is very interested in talking. Shoot me a PM and I will put you in touch with him and share more of the dozens of photos he has sent me. Here are a few to give you some idea of what he has.
