I used to think that my record collection was decent; that is, until I heard about Paul Mawhinney. A former record store owner from Pittsburg, Mawhinney has amassed over 3 million records over the years. The sad thing about is, because of deteriorating health, he was given no choice but to put all his records up for sale on eBay. To this day, no one has made a serious bid in acquiring his collection.

How much would you bid for his records?
