Yea, that was one of the things that I specifically asked about and all 
I got was a blank stare.

The reality is that if someone *really* needed some of the parts it 
might be worth it depending
upon how much you really had to spend.

What killed it for me was the fact that everything was buried and it 
would have taken at least
3-4 hours of digging (with a number of people...I wasn't going to be 
able to move some of
the piled up junk by myself) just to figure out what was actually 
there.  I might have felt
differently if the 4341, etc were in better condition (from at least 
what I could see).  But given
the condition and not knowing what else was there it was really a 
pig-in-a-poke.
