time to cry

[Comfort kraft]

RE: time to cryChris- The auction would not be free- it costs plenty of money to have an auction, the auctioneers are not working gratis.  From the information presented on the list concerning the auction in question, I would doubt that the sk's widow made any if at all money, it probably cost her to have the auction.

  That makes complete sense George.  You don't want her 'eaten alive' by the sharks so you eat her yourself ahead of time.  Your plan will deny her any money from your things.

  My wife knows that she has my blessing to sell what she can and get what she can...God knows she'll need every penny. 

  Another $.02 on the pile...

  I have had fun and made lots of money buying things at auction and reselling 
  them-it is what I do to supplement my disability income.  However, a 
  standard commercial auction is a bit different than a private auction for 
  the benefit of a sk's widow to liquidate his estate and reduce it to specie 
  (cash).  In the commercial auction , the beneficiary is usually a secured 
  party , like a bank, looking to recapture as much cash as possible and not 
  caring too much about the actual amount of recovery.  The private auction is 
  different in that the widow has many expenses to pay for the funeral, etc , 
  to get the estate in order, since the kindly banker has probably frozen the 
  couples bank accounts. 
  So what does this mean?   I don't know , but after reading the post, I have 
  instructed my wife to move all my goodies to the dumpster rather than her 
  possibly being eaten alive by sharks - i.e.- well intentioned fellow 
  amateurs - after a bargain at my sk estate sale. 
  Tnx for the bandwidth-Just my $.02
