I watched some, doesn’t look like they have any type of inventory list. It would be a crap shoot. Somebody will probably buy the whole thing then spend 5 years cataloguing the parts..then another 10 years trying to sell the ones people want..wonder why they just walked away from all this?

You need to watch towards the end, he was asked if there is a web site etc and he said if you need something in particular just call him and someone in the comments said he talked with him for quite awhile on the phone and he was really friendly and helpful. But , he said he'd rather people show up with trucks and vans and buy a truck load of stuff.

I was looking up the history of Toohey's Auto Supply. Evidently there were several, if not numerous, Toohey's Auto Supply facilities. Not sure if any or possibly how many might still remain.

No way they are going to sell onezy twozeys. Andy you are correct on what will probably happen. This is a huge task to dispose of.

Cataloging should be fairly easy. There appears to be many parts catalogs in the office.
What would bother me about buying this mess, is the amount of water damage to some of these parts from leaking roofs.
The belts and hoses, being made of rubber and twenty three years old, are worthless.
The fuel pumps and carbs are only worth core value as they were made or rebuilt with non-ethanol resistant components.
I don't think there is as much there as it might seem.
BTW the inventory list is right there in the office. All those drawers full of cards are inventory cards.
One card for each part they carried. The cards were marked with the quantity on hand and changed each time a part was sold or received in inventory.
That card file was the way inventory was managed way back in BC. (before computers)
