Well, there is that.

Given that we (can I say we? I actually want no part of this deal, but for the sake of argument I'll pretend I do) don't know what we're getting, we can't really trust anyone (except Italuminum, of course) to pack the goods properly and not misappropriate a spare gruppo or two. Realistically the buyer would want to use up a few frequent flyer miles to go inspect, inventory, and supervise the packing of the bikes. I'm thinking each bike should be wrapped in bubble wrap and shrink wrap as is, and then loaded into a container. Shipping alone is going to cost thousands. As an investment, it's doubtful at best.

Frankly, though, my problem with this deal is that it's like buying the effects of a vice without bothering with the vice itself. It's like Fritz is trying to sell his hangover for $50 because that's what he spent on the scotch.
