very possible.
I bought the phone number from a shop that was under new ownership for a year & ended up going bankrupt. I was "waiting in the wings" trying to be ready to scoop up any deals when his bankruptcy proceedings were complete & he got the clearance to liquidate.
Finally they closed thew case. All I really wanted was his phone number & his job files. I got the phone number a month ago & he told me his sister was going to be getting his edge, macimprint software, & plotter. He said he'd get back to me on the files. i called him today & he asked me if the files was all i wanted. I said I'd be interested in knowing about anything he had, & reminded me what he had told me about his sister. He said, yeah, she has it.... but "that could change any day" (whatever that means)
It's an edge 1 & some prints I saw of his last year when one of his clients hired me to do stuff because of the quality issues they were having with him... I saw evidence of him needing a new print head, so that would still be tru I suspect. If you are interested, let me know & I'll ask if he wants me to give out his number.
