Caligal,
Don't know where you are located, but I take a wild guess somewhere in the state of CA, given your username. If you are close in proximity to LA/Orange County, then I'd suggest you contact
www.ocbonsai.com and speak to Joe. I believe he can take ALL bonsai-related things you have on consignment and sell them for you. His usual commission for doing so is 10%. This is much less hassle on your part and well worth the commission, unless you have the time and choose to do it yourself. Either ways, I wish you luck with your effort.
Last but not least, sorry for your loss.
Usual commission vary from 10% to what amount?
