Hmmm.... It would be interesting to see this but don't know if I'm in need of anything beyond a print washer and darkroom fan. I'm in Columbia, MO.

Well, GAS got the best of me and I bought the whole pile of darkroom stuff. Holy Moly! Its too bad this stuff has been sitting in storage for so long, there are nearly 1000 sheets of paper of all sizes that is from the mid 1990s. I am sure its all useless, but of course I will try it out. Lots of old film too, emulsions I have not seen, some basic stuff that I will shoot.

The enlargers are in boxes, disassembled so who knows, but the price was OK as long as I get two good enlargers.
So much crap, it will take a while to sort it out.

This will result in lots of questions as I find stuff that I cannot identify or stuff that I want to sell or trade with Apugers.

Good luck, though I'm sure you got your money's worth. As for the paper, you just never know.

Found 6 bottles of ilford ilfotec HC developer. States concentrate has indefinite life. I don't think I will ever need to buy developer again.

I assume the dry bags of chemicals are dead.

Dry bags of chemicals should last pretty much forever if they are still sealed!

After doing a couple of these deals I now have several lifetime's supply of Photo-Flo (as opposed to the usual lifetime supply one gets when one buys their first bottle ;-) )
