It is all in the details, which are sparse.
Most of those look like they could be high-end bikes, which could be worth in excess of $1000 each, either intact, or stripped to parts.
However, as we all know, a Schwinn Paramount and a Schwinn Varsity would land in vastly different markets.
Even details on groupsets will make a huge difference. So, complete Campagnolo Record/Nuovo Record/Super Record groupsets could be worth more than $500 each, with the frames being the profit.
On the other hand, one might struggle with many vintage Shimano, Suntour, or Simplex groupsets.
If there truly are the parts equivalent of 100 bikes, it likely will be worth significantly more than $50K. But, the buyer would have the time and expense of selling, breaking down, packing, commissions, etc.
It appears to be an eclectic selection of bikes. Many of the brands may be largely unknown. So, they may be harder to move than say Colnago Masters, Paramounts, Merckx, etc, even if equivalent quality.
