I cannot imagine what it took to amass this collection, especially to think that we can't take it with us when we go.

If you can't find a project to keep you occupied at this auction, you aren't looking hard enough.

jeeze louise. No wonder it's hard to find stuff this guy had it all.
What makes it worse is it is not all that far from me.

Good gravy! I'd be hard-pressed to afford the acreage and buildings to park it all in, much less all of that rusty gold.

If only he weren't a 16 hour drive from here, I might keep an eye on a few of the auctions.

A good friend was a friend of the owner and is helping the widow with the auction.
His day job is an Automotive journalist covering classic cars, auctions, trucks and MVs.

He helped with the cataloging and description, his name is on the ads as the "...for more information " guy.

He's a straight shooter, and unlike a lot of estate sales where neither the auction house or the seller/widow know anything and can't answer questions, he can.

Here he gives a brief video overview:
