and/or have them list them in craig's list. seems like a terrible shame to slaughter them!

Thanks Carol, I'll pass that on to the person who gave me the information. I don't know if they have done that or not but it is worth suggesting. I did suggest craigslist though. Somebody was saying that they had found homes for all of them now but I can't confirm nor deny that. Friend of a friend of a friend and all.

Seems to me, even at bottom dollar, they could make some money off of them at an auction. The girl who told me about it said apparently the son of the deceased isn't a very nice person. I can not confirm nor deny that either.
