Did he get that much!? ...or was that the asking price 'at some point in time' in the negotiation?

You will have to ask the new owner what the out come was . The water's are very muddy now on who was offerd what all i know is the price above and the email of the kids . at the end of it people were played and there was one winner ,

True - one winner indeed.
Your stated price gives a good indication of what lenghts both sellers and buyers will go to in this game, if it went for that.
I have no reason to disbelieve you and even if the price was just a ballpark figure, its beyond silly.
Nuts.

Nuts is a good word for it, really.
I did a lot to help him out with the dumb black cap that was in the pile, as well. Wie dumm von mir.
I am not an enemy of the profit motive, but I think it is exceptional bad taste to drill in with the concentration camp horror factor, the virginal veteran thing, and also the hard luck story with medical bills.
I have medical bills, too, and do not start shaking people down for my close reading of the RZM circulars or the chance to examine a somewhat above average collection....
Scheisse is what I say to all of this.

Neither am I (an enemy of the profit motive - a free market will dictate the price of even this type of uniform), but you pretty much narrowed it down in the rest of your post.

A ruthless cynicism of the original poster and his tall tales that pushes all the maudlin and pathos laden buttons gripes me big time, really.

The cynic here is the HVAC toad and his hard luck story.
