vintage 1985 bianchi centenario (100 year anniversary) bike bought brand new in 1985, built up for display, then boxed and stored 19 years before going on sale and the auction ends TUESDAY (apologies dale for being 1 year Off Topic...)

http://ebay.com/<blah>

Can I get a comment from bike shop owners or workers ?? Who are these people who purchase bikes rather than Intel stock ?? My own Schwinn 1974 paramount was ridden 150 mi in the 4 years after purchase, and then sold to me for 25% of current retail price.

You don't see many ebay auctions saying, "I bought this Ferrari Testarossa in 1985, but hardly drove it more than 200 miles since then, and now i'm selling it because its taking up space and my wife wants it out of the garage !!!"

who are these people ??
