I'd consider it but the $500 non-refundable deposit required just to submit a bid is a total deal breaker. It would cost me $500 just to get out there and take a look. Auctions are best done with the largest possible audience. The more barriers you put up the fewer bidders there will be and then you're likely to end up with a lower total price.
