One of my friend know someone who he works with that have a shelve full of rare books and four paintings. He inherited it from his grandfather a few years ago.
He have first edition of "The Hobbit", "The Call of the Wild", and few "Alice in Wonderland" and many other highly valued books. One of the paint he have was painted by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, the rest is probably valuable, but I've not seen them yet.
I would like to meet the owner and see how much he actually knows about them. Any advice on how to test his knowledge and how to convince him to sell them all for around 1,000 would be appericated.
The owner doesn't seems to be having any fincial hardship so I cannot use that t my advantage. He's in early twenty's, so I realy question his knowledges. I don't think he knows what he actually own or what they're worth.

You sound like a real creep trying to take advantage of someone. Wouldn't the joke be on you if he has some nice fakes and is taking YOU for a ride?

that is not important ,in your case ,
what is more to the point ,because you want to buy ,is what do you know about these items
make a low offer ,see his reaction he will either accept or say no it is not enough and raise the price,

Discuss some of them with him, and ask him.
