Going…going…SOLD !!

“This exceeds all expectations,” said Carl Barkman, head curator at Bukowski’s, which arranged the auction.
There was high interest in the auction. About 8,000 people came to see the items and Bukowski’s webpage had visitors from more than 100 countries in the days up to the auction.
