I vaguely recall reading (last time this story came up) that the Library of Congress had tried to buy the collection, but the guy's asking price was too high.

"No, they (the L of C) made him a bullshit offer. Basically just wanted it as a donation. He can't do that because the collection has left him near broke," Sean, the guy who shot the video, told me in an email.

I'm not sure the L of C really needs to be paying this guy for his "Fat Elvis' Fried Banana Christmas Party" record.  He talks about all the stuff that he has that isn't on cd; I'm sure there are some gems, but I'll bet most of it isn't worth having.
