Two things could be going on here:

1) Your friend doesn't know anything about estate/tag sales, chiefly that they are for liquidating property And wildly overestimated the value of the items.

2) The owners are jerks who who put ridiculously high reserves on most of their items. In that case, I have a lot of sympathy for your friend who was put in a bad situation.
