When he posted them originally I emailed him and suggested he split them up as it was too big a lot to expect a bid. He told me he really wanted to "de-clutter" his Tolkien collection, so I expect we might see some more items soon.

I think if anyone wants any of this stuff the seller is pretty willing to sell; I have his email address if anyone wants to contact him privately. I actually advised him to list most of it here on TolkienGuide, if he couldn't be bothered with eBay. But he's (as stated) split the original lot into smaller lots; whether this will help shift the stuff, I don't know. I'm not sure if this is just the tip of the iceberg, or as good as it gets. He doesn't seem to have a list of everything he wants to sell as yet.
