The Auction, part 2

Thanks for asking - the auction was a disappointment, mostly because of a lack of advertising. The auction house we used didn't send out their direct mailings, and even told regulars not to come. Add in a flash flood warning, and a faltering economy, and the fact that the auction house turned away donors, and it was not a pretty sight.

The good news is that we did make a little money, so at least all the effort didn't send us into the red.

I am so sorry that you went through all that hard work only to have it fall short of the mark! Next time, use a different auction house.

Thanks for the visit and the well-wishes. I, too, hope you have the opportunity to try for a long lasting marriage!

Sounds like you got really badly let down by the auction house there ...

Good to hear you made a bit of money out of it :-)
