Hi all - discharged at the beginning of July, waiting on it all to be closed. Got an email from my lawyer saying that the trustee wants to have an auctioneer come out and appraise an old boat and jet-ski that i have laying around. Both were included in my wild-card exemption, but the trustee says "he doesn't know anything about boats and wants to make sure there's no non-exempt assets in there."
The boat is a 1978 sailboat that has a blue book of $6000 but I have seen several of them selling for around $2500. The Jet-ski is a 1996 that is worth around $1500.
I guess my question is this - is this normal? I thought that once I was discharged it was pretty much done. I was very surprised (and I think the lawyer was also) that he's coming back now asking questions. She says not to worry but what else is she going to say? I know it's only a boat/jet-ski, but I don't have much left after the whole BK and it'll suck to lose the only fun I have left.
