1. desecration of a grave?

I really think this is a bad thing because that is a designated marine burial ground and I think selling this stuff constitutes desecration of a grave.

2. The person...

who is selling this plate had it gaven to them by their aunt who was on the Titanic and brought it with her.

3. Not in this case, this plate was stolen by a passenger

before the ship sank and was taken with her when she got on a lifeboat.

12. It seems so morbid.....

somebody needed to bring it on a lifeboat? :shrug: :(

[ET Awful]

15. No, read the story associated with it.

It wasn't intentional, she had taken it earlier and put it in her bag to keep as a memento of her trip, she had her bag with her when she got on the lifeboat. She didn't even remember the plate was there until later.

17. It seems to me that the auction agent

should have altered the payment terms for this specific auction:

Payment must be made by Check or Money Order. For payment by check, we hold goods for 10 business days until the check clears.

You cannot, of course, get a money order for fifty grand, and no one in their right mind would take a personal check for it. :P
