So last October she starts selling some of the Aston's; so I go and ask if I can now buy the Jeep. The reply "No it's worth far more than we bought it for so I can't let it go at that price. It's worth double and I need the cash flow!" "It's going to Auction with some of the Astons".
I've worked my gut's out for over 16 years for these people! I was hoping to have the opportunity to enjoy driving the Jeep with my daughter. but now it'll end up in some rich guy's collection gathering dust.
She's also selling the company; which I'm hoping will be a good thing; because I'm done.
My advice is to definitely go to the auction and see what happens. It may not reach the hammer price that the seller is hoping for and you may still have a chance to buy it.

Most of us here have probably been promised things for sale, at one time or another, that has ended up being sold to someone else behind our backs. I know from personal experience that it can make one feel "seriously P****d off".
