Hi all, I wanted to get my fellow museum professionals opinion on whether
using Ebay would qualify as a "public auction" for disposing of
deaccessioned items from museum collections. I think it would be the same
as auctioning of items at Christie's, Sotheby's, etc. but wanted to make
sure that there wasn't something that I wasn't thinking about or
considered. As always, the funds would go back into collections--either
for improved storage, conservation, or new artifacts.

Thanks in advance for everyone's opinion.
