Look at the PDF files at the bottom of this auction.

Thoughts:
-Bankruptcy due to bad economy?
-Well heeled rock star no longer so well heeled?
-Drugs?
-Money laundering?
Good grief. I've never seen such a large and diverse collection and TONS of guitars in sparkle finishes. And LOTS of collectibles.
Some look like (maybe?) knock offs rather than the real deal.
Some of the gear (like a Matchless amp autographed by John Jorgensen) indicates maybe this was a "name" who had to get rid of a bunch of stuff.
Or it was a music store that went under and the owners private stash had to go too.
