Actually, if I'd had $5K spare and the means of getting it all from the US
I'd have bid - there aren't many machines in that collection I *have* got!

Obviously nobody thinks it's worth $5K!
Perhaps for obvious reasons, it is a LARGE mixed batch, which
almost nobody
could be expected to want all of. Lotting items together like that is
throwing money away for the sellers convenience, and greatly
reduces the
bid value. Then with the first bid at $5k, even if it might
sell for that,
greatly reduces the chances of getting a first bid.
