It's still pretty unclear exactly what was taken. The OP said not everything was taken and the collection was cherry picked, but he never really said how much was taken or how much of the 2 trucks that showed up were filled. There's a lot of unknowns still, and the OP hasn't bothered to come back and answer any of the questions or provide any more information about exactly what was taken.

Maybe the OP can't find the thread.

Also, not clear why the OP felt so pressured to enter into this agreement w/o taking the time to "shop" his collection around to other AH. In the scheme of things, what would a few more days be...does not appear any of his products have even been sold yet, two plus months later.

Indeed. And at least two major auction houses are in his area, and perhaps others I am missing. Even a phone call to get ballpark reactions to the first proposal.
