NOS framesets Components ITALY

Where did it come from? It's rare to see almost any of this anywhere - and it's quite a range of suppliers if it's unused.
Maybe they buy up anything nice off classifieds and ebay Italy when it's cheap, and wait 10 years for a lift in price?
2021 was the time to sell though, most stuff has been in decline since then, maybe Italy was different?

I don't think it's like that, as they seem to get big batches and often several of the same NOS frames etc. Maybe buying up stock from closing businesses?

I've bought the remains of bike shops, and been at collapsed cycle wholesaler stock auctions - the most striking thing is that really nice stuff like this never makes it to the administrators.

In fact stuff that's sellable in any way is scarce - either sold off cheap or MiA as the staff and owners leave the sinking ship.

could be different in Italy obvs

And they could specialise in bulk buying end-of-season, so wholesalers can clear out the last 5% when the next years stuff comes in - but someone's been sitting on this for quite a few years!

Maybe I'll email them and ask!
