They also have a fairly clear idea of what they’re worth. The purchasers will be getting wonderful boxes but not at a bargain price.

Well, that sounds fair enough to me. After all, I reckon the man’s Widow deserves to get a fair price for these quality instruments.
Let’s face it, genuine buyers who intend to play & look after these instruments, really won’t mind paying a fair price.
I think perhaps the only people who would want to steal these for a bargain price would be dealers, who are of course only in it to cheat the seller, sell them on for the big money & make themselves a fast buck!
So I hope genuine musicians are the successful bidders.

I totally agree, I have no problem at all with paying a fair price for a quality instrument.

Steve, if you are feeling flush … how about that stolen Stradivarius Violin worth: £1.2m! & the Peccatte Bow worth: £62,000! 
[u]Thieves steal £1.2m Stradivarius near London Euston![/u]

Check out the local car-boot sales, it’ll probably be on for a tenner.
It’s what happened to my Anglo!
