The 40 year-old actor died last year after the
driver of a Ferrari he was a passenger in lost control and hit a tree,
the vehicle immediately bursting into flames.
The crash site soon became a shrine to the Fast And Furious star as
people mourned his passing, though according to the seller, he managed to take
the items before police cornered off the area.

The
seller put the items up for auction at BidAMI.com according to TMZ and claims
to have found the sunglasses in the bushes around the site and decided to take
them, not realizing they belonged to the star until photos of the moments
before Walker's death were published online where he was wearing the glasses.
Entertainment Wise was unable to access the site, implying the post may well have been removed.
The
insensitive auction comes as it's been confirmed filming of the next Fast and
Furious movie will resume within the next few weeks. Universal Studios
executives announced this week that that filming will pick up again on March
31st.
According
to E! News, the studio said, "shooting will resume on March 31 in
Atlanta... meaning the cast and crew will be heading back to work roughly four
months after the shocking death of franchise star Paul Walker."
Walker
and his friend Roger Rodas were pronounced dead at the scene. He had already
completed most of his scenes for the seventh installment of the street-racing
films so his character Brian O'Connor will remain in the movie.
The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "In the weeks after the tragedy, director James Wan, writer Chris Morgan and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum, Universal’s lead executive on the Fast films, pored over the footage Wan had shot.

"The
trio then devised a plan to tweak the existing script so that Walker would
remain a part of the story but could be written out, allowing the franchise to
continue without him.”
Walker's
co-star Tyrese Gibson told Yahoo's The Insider the franchise has to keep going
to honour the late actor.
He said: "Thank God close to 85 percent of the movie was shot with him in it.
"The fans are really going to feel like they’re still experiencing Paul Walker and Brian O’Conner in this franchise and we’re going to make it fun and make the best of it.”
