I can't speak to the individual items and their relative condition. However, my sense
is they know what they have and the prices are higher than what you'd typically find
on eBay. I visited there a few weeks back.

I'm in England so I have no interest in any of these items. However as
soon as I see a don't touch notice alarms go off.
It usually means theres something wrong with these items but we don't
want you to know.
Never buy anything without a good hands on testing. We have a name for
this type of item 'Landfill' no not where it should go but where it
probaly came from.

Well, to be sure, they will let you inspect but I doubt they'll let you do a power up
test.
Also... Well, let's just say there are particularly interesting specimens in the front
windows that have been destroyed by UV and dust. I seem to recall an Osborne 1 in that
condition. :-(

I gave them a call, there seems to be quite a bit of interesting stuff
there, but they do not want to ship any of it.
Friendly on the phone, sad to see it's closing up seems like a neat place.
It's a shame it's not anywhere near me or i would have seriously considered
heading over there to see, even if the prices are a little high. Hopefully
it all goes to a good home.

If I was local I would definitely go over for an afternoon of picking
although the most interesting thing I can pick out from the pic on
Craigslist is a NeXT grayscale monitor (I suppose the Altos machines are a
bit unusual, too) ... I know the sort of place; probably a little
storefront computer repair/computer shop with a little "collection" in back
... I've visited a few shops over the years that have had similarly
constructed "museum" areas... Always sad to see these little guys go ... I
got my own start in the business years ago at a local computer repair shop
when I was in high school ... hope they are able to find good placements
for their stuff.
Best,
Sean
