Oh my, the madness has begun. An east coast thing eh? Now I have many
questions. How do we propose to break this up? As mentioned somewhere else
putting it all up on ebay would be a lot of product on the market, even if
temporary. Where would we put the stuff in the mean time, it looks
substantial. Where is gardenslug? I mean, I know New Jersey, but north or
south? I think getting a better idea of what is in the lot is a good idea.
But the logistics of who gets what how is the most important I feel. If a
group of people wants to toss in a grand or more into this how is everyone
guaranteed their money's worth? Plus make sure that no one backs out at
auction's end. OK, I can go on but this is enough for now. I think these
are valid and important points if a madcap venture like this is to be
undertaken.
