Message:: [QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1053688, member: 23626"]I have seen the show. I also know a bit about these auctions, and although I would never dispute the television drama presented, I have never been as "lucky". No I have never found a Jackson Pollack at the dump either or a Monet hidden behind any art I purchased at auction.  My thinking goes "If I had a $4,000 coin in storage, why not sell it and settle my bill ?" I mean, you have access for a pretty good time span before it is in default. I mean you must know you own the coin, after all, you put it in there ? Seems, strange that vast numbers of people forget they have cash and other liquid assets or valuable art or jewelry sitting in storage and don't go get them out immediately when money gets tight. Even if you were in jail, you could send your attorney or family member with the key. Just saying that it seems strange to me. As was previously stated, you gotta wonder how many of these renters are getting ripped off ? I mean, some serviceman's check get's "misplaced" and his stuff gets sold out from under him or something. I think there needs to be some sort of investigation as to what "tenant's rights " should be and perhaps it should be uniform by Federal Regulation or something ?gary[/QUOTE]
