One reason is that there are many different sizes of frames so one person isn't going to want to buy the lot unless they can flip them. And a flipper isn't going to get $1500 out of them even after spending all the time and money it would take to get them roadworthy. A flipper would lose money on this lot were they to spend $1500 IMHO.

Another reason is most people are only going to want one of them. For example I would only want the Raleigh where someone else may want the mixte. Buying them all to get the one that was wanted would leave someone burdened with getting rid of the others.
