So let me get this right, you failed to pay your rent, you failed to
get legal representation, arrogantly choosing to represent yourself.
As a result your property was seized for failure to pay, and then
sold to Tri-Valley Recycling. Now you're threatening anyone that
chooses to do business with Tri-Valley Recycling?
You've lost any credibility you once had. You can't threaten the
very people that could give this material a safe home for the poor
decisions you've made. Not to mention I have to think that
Tri-Valley now has every right to take you to court for Slander.
There is an old saying, the person that chooses to represent himself
in court, has a fool for a client.

It is a shame he lost his collection that probably took decades to collect,
but I have to ask how does somebody with $500K or more (just a guess) in
collectables easily sold on ebay lose it all over a few grand in rent? Its
not like he didn't see this coming.

I have to agree, it is a shame, I hate to see it happen to anyone, in
fact this reminds me of the mess with Jim Willing's collection.
However, you're absolutely correct, there was a time when some of the
collection should have been sacrificed for the greater good of the
collection.
