If estate sale "company" does not the executor of the estate certainly does and that certainly extends to properly liquidating the estate's property. This example would probably rise to the level of gross negligence on the executor's parts and unless they were the sole beneficiary (and the estate had the means to otherwise satisfy any monetary liabilities the estate might have) the executor would open themselves up to personal liability in some (most/all ?) states.
This has nothing to do with the OP, he paid a price set by the people he was dealing with.
Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.
