Some of the items are unique objects and artifacts, I can see these
maybe getting the expected $.  But many/most of the items are just
books or journals with articles by famous people.  Most average
people, even most average techies don't subscribe to these academic
journals, but there's at least tens of thousands of copies of many
of these journals, mostly in libraries or in professor emeriti's bookshelves.
How can something like this be expected to be worth many hundres to many
thousand dollars?
