The few interior photos showed some vintage 80's oak.

That's right... vintage... straight from 1983 original.

I would be looking at something high end, maybe a jewelry store.

Insane, my clients were pissed they went through all of that for nothing.Is this a case of a true auction, or is it a faux auction through Hubzu/Xoom/Auction.com?

We are also taking the opportunity to price out flooring for her to come back with a faux wood tile that we are using today in our renovations.  

Who doesn't like to have nice things to look at or be able to sample multiple vintages and turn a coin?

We hated to replace some of the flooring that was almost new, but they had used two different faux wood patterns/styles that clashed, and it looked somewhat cheap and plastic.  

Purchase price: $8,600,000 The Bluffs & Lakeside are 1980's vintage assets located on two unique strategic tracts.The Bluffs straddles a high-traffic thoroughfare with great frontage road with average traffic counts that exceed 37K cars daily.

Of course you did nothing wrong.Well except for paying up front for work that was not yet done....a major faux pas and a large part of the problem....if she hadn't done that we wouldn't be having this conversation.....OP, They are not going to sue you or take you to court.

A 1975 property is not that old and while there could be asbestos and lead paint, it's doubtful one of that vintage is going to have knob and tube wiring.
