<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 1500162, member: 5515"]An interesting question. And I wish I could ask the seller, but I'm always cautious after the deal is done to interact anymore. I would definitely prefer that the seller feels good about the transaction as I'm sure they do right now. So if I start asking questions about where they got it from I may unintentionally expose more details than I want to. To that end, the owners last name appears to be of German origin, so unless I asked very directly, there doesn't appear to be a family connection. The seller only has a few listings, so doesn't appear to be offloading an estate which could indicate a family member passing away. I always want <u>so bad</u> to learn the background of where an item came from, but often I have to accept the mystery of these items...Bouncing around in my brain is often the question "is there <u>more</u> in this persons basement"?!?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
