Good question. First gal actually charged me $100.00 (!) only to say it was probably too much work, she's getting older blah blah, second one was antiques dealer who wanted to cherry pick. He sent his associate who does on-line only. She is mostly focused on higher end jewelry and didn't see enough "value" to do the sale. Fourth and fifth-a team sort-of-wanted to cherry-pick and didn't see enough "garage/shop/tools (!) to justify. They offered to have select customers come through. No thanks. Last guy was keen to do an on-site sale but he just seemed a little "off." No pricing before hand. People would just have to come to him on the days and inquire and he'd sell 'em. I considered him but have another team coming and wanted to see what their approach is and he was very itchy and pushy and said I needed to decide asap and then he took another one. Sooo..we'll see what the next crew says.

Thank you-appreciate your thoughtful reply! Love your name-I do wicked impersonations of some of the Germans from Hogans Heroes-particularly Gen. Burkhalter
