Still working on it!
The people who had comissioned the auction house to sell the appliances had initially agreed to sell off just the dishwasher if there had been no bids on the lot; the person I have been in contact with from the auction house had a buyer lined up for just the refrigerator also. On Friday, I got an email from the auction person saying the owners were now resisting the idea of breaking up the set! AAAARGH!
The auction company guy is still working on them - hey it's in his best interest, too!
Sooooo, we shall have to wait and see... If it winds up dragging, I might be tempted to head down there in person and throw a hissy in front of the owners, if it would help!!
I really want to get my mitts on this one!!!
