Thanks for the laugh, Jeff. It's been a long day...
If it was my client with all the 'stuff' swirling around his former business and former business partners I'd probably advise him to have a true third party sell it all rather than anyone with connections to my former business, just so there is no appearance of impropriety. Not saying anything will be wrong, just that as this thread shows the selection of auctioneers perhaps needlessly raises questions that might be better left unasked.
And I have to ask: does anyone think Mastro will have trouble getting paid on his consignments?
