I am sorry the Gold Fort Tompkins has created such a stir here. I only set the reserve after talking to many people here at lighthousekeepers. The only thing I wanted to do was make sure I had all my facts straight and do a good job showing the Gold.
As for the money going to benefit someone or something, my sister (who won the Tompkins) felt this was a Godsend. She needed to do something to pay off some bills before November because she is losing part of their income. All of the sudden this Golden Lighthouse falls into her lap.
For those who don't already know, the reserve on the Gold Fort Tompkins is $3700.00. For those of you that wrote me and gave me the help and the suggestions, I thank you all very much. I appreciate it greatly.
