I dunno what is going to happen. It kind of sucks that it is prolly going to Asia. There is the reality that most Americans don't appreciate our stuff. I have been in contact with a lot of museums and if I was in a fiscal position I would love to donate it. The cold hard fact is that I am not able to and it makes me feel awful. They definitely encouraged that feeling too.
For the most $$$ parting it out would be the best thing. I just can't bring myself to do that though. Man, this economy is really hitting me hard. The other stuff I have been offered (the minimum bid will cover this) makes it a little easier, but still not great. He's in the same position, and if I can't come up with the money these will also see an auction.
