Great idea - kudos to the man!

For those who can read the German language and would like to follow the auction, this is the link: http://www.jgr-apolda.eu/index.php?topic=4139.0
Just scroll down the pages to find out what it is all about. To see pics of the pieces, you would have to register with the forum, or else contact Martin. This is Euroland, so all the auction proposals summarized every now and then are in Euros, of course..

I haven´t seen such a "relaxed-mood" auction for quite a while, btw, this is why I would like to point at it...
