Evidently the world's greatest music collection is for sale. The minimum bid to purchase this collection is $3,000,000. It has been valued at $50,000,000. By whom and how this collection was valued I do not know.

I actually find this very intriguing. It is indeed a massive collection:

The listing states:

"Every recording in the collection was purchased by the collection's owner over the past fifty years and represents a lifetime of work and his desire to see the music preserved for future generations. Advancing age and health concerns are forcing the owner to sell."

Is this collection really preserving music? Perhaps there are songs on those pieces of vinyl that have not been digitized. But this pic below is clearly thousands of CDs:

If someone offered, 30 million MP3s, what do you think the chances are that someone would buy it for even $1,000,000?

There is a collection here, but it is not the music. It's the packaging.
