Jay, I think the terminology is crucial here, and has colored so much of the discussion. It will not be an "auction" such as when someone dies intestate and the executor just dumps everything, which would mean highest bidder. What it means is that the family will likely sell, as they would sell momma's house after her death. Sullivan and others are assuming that it will have to go to the highest bidder, but that is nothing but an assumption. They will be able to choose between bids, using whatever criteria they like. Price is one, but they are not going to be compelled to sell to the highest bidder, unless they just choose to do that.
