| Auctions offer a little bit of everything
When Larry Hendricks arrived at the auction on Howell Street in Cape Girardeau on Sunday, there was one item he was prepared to bid on. It was a shiny red Fender Stratocaster electric guitar that caught Hendricks' eye in the classified ads of the newspaper. The guitar was listed among other items that were auctioned off at the former residence of Maxine Crow, who passed away in February. Bill Crow of Dallas decided to auction off most of his mother's estate, which he had inherited, to "get it out and get it done in one stop." "Since I don't live here locally, I don't have the ability to market everything out piece by piece," he said. "Auctions are a very pleasant and easy way to dispose of a wide variety of property. Whatever it brings, it brings and it all goes away that day." Among the items at Sunday's auction were a large assortment of glassware, vintage radios and quilts, antique mirrors and a couple of unusual items like nautical star navigation tools.

La Tasca at centre of bidding war
Spanish theme bar and restaurant group La Tasca, which earlier this week was considering a £96 million cash offer from the Tragus Group, is now reeling from a surprising new offer. A bid vehicle called TFT, which consists of Iranian entrepreneur Robert Tchenguiz and Icelandic bank Kaupthing, has trumped Tragus' offer with an £98.6 million bid. The new bid would see La Tasca shareholders receive 188p in cash per share, up from the 185p per share offer from Tragus. AIM-listed La Tasca, which has its headquarters in Greater Manchester, has said it is considering its position. However, Tragus has declined to comment. La Tasca chief executive James Horler told the Manchester Evening News: "This changes things a little. We'll obviously sit down and have a look at the new bid. It shows the appetite for the business and our sector.
