Gantlokal

Today I went to the Zürich Gantlokal, which is an auction organized by the city of Zürich. They sell stuff that has been confiscated from bankrupt people. Today a Rolls Royce was sold for 4,000 francs, which one might think was pretty reasonable, but it looked like a piece of metal junk to me. Plus one couldn't drive with it.

Other than that, it was all sorts of stuff from 1 francs and up. Paintings, gold, watches, boxes with shoe soles (!), electronics and a helluva lot of wine. I wish I had known, since some of them were collection pieces, and one might have been able to re-sell it with a profit.

Anyway, now I know and I might actually go there again.
