The auction house gathers and distributes bits and pieces of people's lives that were either discarded or left unvalued after their owner's death. Bob and Bonnie run the place. All day long, interesting characters come into their shop, buying or trying to sell something. People who are attracted to owning these odd goods can be very eccentric, with their own stories to tell.
