Please, I know how to scrap this out myself, so Scrappers need not bid
nor Museums concerning donations.
So I guess the guy doesn't want it to go to a museum, but it sure would
be a lot for a simgle collectot to handle.
Noooooooo he didn't say he didn't want it to go to a museum, he said he
didn't want it going "as a donation". Reading between the lines - I'm
guessing it's fine with him if it goes to a museum, but he's not going to
DONATE it. He wants CASH.
I kind of view this as the same as someone who finds a complete dinosaur
skeleton and decides to auction it off to the highest bidder.
Sure, it's that person's right to do whatever they want with it, but there
is a higher cause that they are just not keen to.
