I had a major disappointment at the local auction house the other day: 3 lots were up for auction; 2 boxes of slides and one of photos (all numbered, with negatives). They were taken by a local schoolteacher who had worked in the Mt. Hagen district in Papua New Guinea in the early 60s. Among them were some amazing images of tribesmen with spears, bows, etc.

I was outbidded by a woman from Patea who wants to make tee-shirts out of them...

Has anyone else had any similar experiences?
