I think it's worth noting that Ward's body wasn't found until apparently a
couple days after he passed. People had been trying to contact him with no
reply forthcoming, and it wasn't until a couple days later when someone
finally went to check on him that they discovered him dead.

The buyers might be paying a premium because the items came from "the
collection of Paul Allen", and because of the way Christie's described the
lots, they may have come off with the impression that he personally
restored and used all these himself.
This whole thing is so stupid.
