Stupid prices and then add the 38.5% additional fees.

They were at a previous auction with estimated price total of 200K to 300k and recieved the total of ZERO bids.
Maybe a scrap man will offer 2k the lot.

Not to mention the transport costs,

Zero bids so far even for the smaller items that would be nice office clutter

Some people have too much money so they will likely sell some of it - see the $69M jpeg (below for reference), or the £20M and more Ferraris etc.

NYTimes seems to allow a few articles to be read without paying.

Ignoring the silly prices, I'm puzzled as to what practical use could be made of any of these items. Only one example springs to mind - mid 50s and a 'Moggie threeler' parked in the Market Square in Ripon, notable for the steering wheel having been replaced by a Neptune control wheel, complete with switchgear, including firing switch! Overwhelming envy and, in later years and 'driving encounters', some anti-social thoughts as to how such a setup could be used :E

CJ,in a similar vein,a friend of mine had an old vauxhall van,and the knob on the gear-lever had been replaced with the stick-top from a Hunter(Hawker,not Hillman}.The trigger, when 'fired',activated an electronic gadget taken from a toy machine-gun,and was used as a stress reducer when cut-up by other drivers etc.Better than shouting!

I had a friend who similarly fitted a P51 joystick top to his Audi stick shift.The trigger switch was wired to a locomotive horn.
