#3This is super cool, it would make for an amazing exhibit paired with an interactive audio/video tour. Having said that, I seriously doubt this is the largest collection in the world by any measure.

#4Just imagine 8,000 sq feet of display area, and, as far as I know, there is also a living area there, like a house inside this warehouse.
The price is very reasonable and I would buy it if it was not so far away from me.

It is, unfortunately, on a side-road in Corsicana, TX, which is not exactly a tourist draw. The neighborhood, while perfectly fine, would tend to scare off people who weren't used to industrial areas.

I am just a secret fan who wishes he had this building in his backyard.
Hopefully some crypto baron realizes the historical significance of this collection and buys this marvel for the chump change

i've visited a number of private telephone collections and Don's is absolutely massive by any standard. i can't do it justice, nor can any photo album. but he has, among other treasures, some highlights from my memory:
- autovon equipment
- several generations of digital switches
- electromechanical switches too
- loads and loads of paper documents on compact shelving
- bell labs prototypes
- phones that i never knew existed
- the first switch from Sprint's long distance network
