Three days later, the delivery driver looked at Arthur with genuine pity as he unloaded twenty-five heavy-duty boxes.

By Friday, Arthur had flipped the rare finds to specialized collectors and donated the "filler" to a local literacy program for a tax write-off. He sat in his suddenly spacious apartment, sipping tea, and watched his seller dashboard tick upward.

The towers were gone, but the hunt was far from over. He refreshed the page, waiting for the next to turn someone else's "bulk problem" into his next big break.

One Tuesday, an alert pinged: “Lot of 500: Assorted Art & Architecture – Condition: Like New.” The price was suspiciously low, likely a bookstore in Des Moines closing its doors and dumping inventory into an Amazon fulfillment center just to stop the bleeding. Arthur hit "Buy Now" before his brain could process the shipping logistics.
