Kirk,

Awww...I just assumed that "the wife" that encouraged you to return to the hoard
was your wife! Paul is correct; your OBVIOUS intended meaning is that you were
referring to the late hoarder's widow.

I'm going to make a tongue-in-cheek comment here: I'd solve the problem by
proposing to the widow! That way, I'd score the whole hoard and a place to put
it! ( I am totally joking here! )

Seriously: If it's that good a deal, surely your family and friends can stash a
tool chest or two for a couple of months until you sell off your duplicates.
