As heartbreaking as this might be, you are probably already past the point of getting your stuff back. I noticed that many items have already sold on ebay. Once this stuff ships you're basically screwed. Long story short, I can't imagine a set of circumstances where the buyers would ever be forced to return the items. No judge is going to react to your "explanations for failure to act on your own behalf." Whether you are too tired to move it, too stressed out due to your house, whether there was a holiday(Thanksgiving?), whether your forklift broke, whether your crew had the flu, whether your papers got wet, and the host of other reasons you've given for why you couldn't get the stuff out after multiple notices, extensions, over a pretty extended period of time. The judges are also going to ask why you didn't bother showing up to your hearing based on the motion that you filed. You wasted the judges time and also the defendant's. You're not doing yourself any favors here. They can't give your argument merit in your absence. If the good ole boy network scares you in your county, EBay lawyers are going to have a field day with you. I tried pulling the documents for the case, but it appears that while the docket entries are available for your case on your counties' site --- the individual documents are not. You also have to remember that in civil law cases, that the burden of proof is on the Plaintiff to prove each element. Being a Pro Se defendant is easier than being a Pro Se Plaintiff. I have a feeling that most attorneys aren't going to want to touch this case with a ten foot pole. I wish you luck in May (was it 13th? 14th?) --- and I hope, for your sake, that I'm all wrong about the above.... Get a lawyer! I'm sure as hell not one! Keith
