A friend of mine went to this auction hoping to find an old vanity sink, but he didn't get what he was looking for, because he thought he was at another closeout. This estate sale made me a bit sad, because there were so many great antiques that were separated. It's great that the school got those things, though, I would like to see how they dealt with them, someday.

I've understood the Matilda Brown home liquidation went really well. The house didn't have problems with pests, therefore all the objects were in a good state. It's a shame this had to happen. I hope the school benefited from the auction.
