I have searched and searched for a ref for this -- is there one? I can't find anything about this particular sale, which makes me think that even if it is true, there must be a better example of this type of deaccessioning. [[User:Dina|Dina]] 16:57, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
"Most ethical guidelines for deaccessioning require that the funds generated by disposing of collection items be used only to increase or maintain the remaining collection."
I can't find backing for this. The museum ethical rules I've found give a variety of guidelines and considerations, but there appears no consensus on this point. The rules tend to prevent self-dealing between the museum personnel and the museum when they act on both sides of the transaction, and to prevent kickbacks and corruption, but I see no general rule on the limitation of funds' allowable purposes.
