Seeing the initial story, I was like, holy ****! What a stash. People dream of finding stuff like that.

But then looking at the photo's of all the rest of the stuff for sale, it just seems a bit sad. A whole bike shop and everything in it up for auction as part of a deceased estate. Makes me wonder what the rest of the story is. You know, the human aspect. Did the guy die suddenly and unexpectedly and have no time to make arrangements for after he was gone , or did he just not care? Was there no-one else to take over the business? It must have been there for years, was probably a local tradition. Oh well.

Just goes to show, you can't take it with you.

But at least you can leave it well packaged :)
