If you're wanting to "handle" the situation, figure out what's going on in the guy's head. If he has collected stuff over a lifetime, is a student of the game, then you need to be a respectful student of the game yourself... how fortunate you are that he's blazed a trail for you, what a great opportunity for you to march forward from where he has reached... maybe selling a few of his things, and a few of yours, where there is overlap, so you can get even more. I don't care for the idea of him being "handled", but I was just answering your question.
If the seller focuses on things in a more monetary way, then grasp upon that...
And I agree, a 'right price' will sooth things.
