Description
For historic reasons prices are in USD but this never proved to be a problem as I accepted payments in GBP, USD and EUR.
Inventory value 106,000USD
263,000 items in 17,800 lots.
Lots are genuinely unique which means that the store is probably ranked in the top 20 in the UK in terms of variety of parts.

When it comes to price, I think it is probably best that the sets are not included in the sale because I can probably get a better price selling them individually but that's not to say that it would be impossible to agree a price with a prospective buyer.
The sort of figures I would be looking for are as follows.

As you can see from the pictures, storage is an ad hoc mixture. All the storage is included with the exception of two of the pieces of furniture. The small tall 20 drawer colourful chest of drawers and the 5 drawer chest which can be seen in the second picture.
Quite a large number of my my inventory lots are larger than is apparent because I do not list the full number available.
For example if I have 100 items, I may be listing 50 and there will be a 50r in the remarks. Thus a potential buyer will be getting more. Exactly how much more is very difficult to quantify and I am too old now to make the calculation.
The store is in the Bristol area and needless to say a large vehicle will be required for transport.
