Chris,
If they send you the proceeds and you still feel like you can't accept them, I would be happy to request that you send them to the Ellis County Children's Advocacy Center, Inc. They are a 501(c)3 organization that serves my County and I have been their volunteer board Treasurer since 1998. We provide a child friendly environment for children to make outcries of sexual or severe physical abuse, and we interview each child by a forensic interviewer who is trained to capture all the information that the different law enforcement agencies (CPS, the State, City, County, etc) need in order so that the child doesn't have to continue reliving that trauma with each interview otherwise. Additionally, we have a counselor that provides services to the child and non offending family members after their outcry. It would be a good use of those proceeds rather then having an auction house that you are not happy with keep them
If this is an option you would like to choose, feel free to PM me and I'll send you their address and executive director's name.
Thanks,
Mike
