For a one of a kind geek item, I know a few people that might bid on it. On a different issue, on why Seele is making an issue about it. It's not clear from the story (or the links) but there can be situations in which custom manufactured items, even damaged ones, are to be returned to the manufacturer/third party. There can be custom design work on fittings, fabrication, composition that the manufacturer wants to keep to itself as much as possible and in a cost-effective way. There is usually a contract between manufacturer and the client which would spell this out. That being said, the repair people probably made a mistake putting it on the curb, and Seele could have been more polite.
