<p>[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1585295, member: 29643"]Again, it's entirely possible that the church has those recorded as legacy assets and not "investments" on the books. As such, they're supposed to (mostly for insurance purposes) dispose of those as efficiently as possible. The proceeds then are used for whatever + investments. Usually the congregation would vote to change the investment manager or sell "some of the portfolio" rather than specific assets. If the items up for sale were held/treated as investments, I'm certain the congregation wouldn't have been given the choice to sell or not. It's very likely that the cost of insurance on the book works out to 3 percent (give or take) of the maximum appraisal. Either the church never insured it (fire/theft risk) or had been using old appraisals. The discussion/vote may have been a result of someone having a recent appraisal done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
