help requested in Arkansas rescue

I had a rescue set up in northwest arkansas. Then the owner got in a car 
accident and was out of action for months. Now the family is working with me 
to finish off picking up the collection.

But now that I'm talking to the family, they are telling me a far different 
story about the size of the collection. I was planning on going down this 
weekend to pick it up in a 14seat van (sans seats). However, I've just been 
informed that the computers and docs and such is approximately 7 foot tall 
by 10 foot by 12 foot. This is unlikely to fit, and I'm not sure I can do 
two trips (due to wifes surgery coming up, very soon I won't be able to go 
out for a few days for a few months). Of course, the family wants the stuff 
gone "now".

Anyone able to help with pickup, storage, etc.? If so, please email me 
off-list. The collection is a very complete collection of most known home 
computers back to pre-dos IBM machines with all software & docs. Do I really 
even want this... *sigh*

Kind regards,

Jay West
