I see nothing wrong with Linda King having sold Buk's letters. Burning them, yes, that would be a shame, but selling them, no. This way they will survive. Think about the fact that many author's letters are thrown out when the person holding them dies, or moves, or just wants to pare down their stuff. There's nothing mercenary about getting paid for them. Why not, especially if she needed the money.

the listing is down, can someone tell me what it was?

The original $5000 listing was for a bronze Bukowski bust as sculptured by Linda King in the early 70s.

Later a lower priced plaster-cast of the same sculpture was listed.

I'd pay the new owner reimbursement costs if they'd smash their new acquisition upside Linda King's head. Being new to Bukowski, I'd rather spend good coin on his books. I know the head is a totem - a Bukowski holy relic. But the creator is a cunt.

Quoting myself here to simply apologize. Being new to Buk I was in knee-jerk mode and emotional. Linda deserves better than my disdainful post. Apologize to her and anyone who read my dumb shit comment. Now Pleasants, on the other hand, with his nazi bullshit can take it in the ass - fuck me if I ever apologize for that.
