| 1. desecration of a grave? |
|
I really think this is a bad thing because that is a designated marine burial ground and I think selling this stuff constitutes desecration of a grave.

| 3. Not in this case, this plate was stolen by a passenger |
|
before the ship sank and was taken with her when she got on a lifeboat.

| 15. No, read the story associated with it. |
|
It wasn't intentional, she had taken it earlier and put it in her bag to keep as a memento of her trip, she had her bag with her when she got on the lifeboat. She didn't even remember the plate was there until later.

| 17. It seems to me that the auction agent |
|
should have altered the payment terms for this specific auction:
Payment must be made by Check or Money Order. For payment by check, we hold goods for 10 business days until the check clears.
You cannot, of course, get a money order for fifty grand, and no one in their right mind would take a personal check for it. :P
