The following Saturday, April 26, 2025, Starling Auctions hosted an online auction where some of the firearms were legally auction off to licensed buyers with a profit of more than $93,000 to be paid back to the estate. However, during the auction the estate noticed that some of the most valuable firearms were not included in the lot. In the months that passed, the estate made several attempts to collect payment from Starling Auctions that went unsuccessful.
