Clarifying for the curious because it's been a whole saga: Original owner (Brian) of the legos did consignment deal with BAM, and it was going well til new owners took over, but when it went sour with new owners Ben got involved.
During one of their many creative attempts to resolve the matter, they decided to have Brian "sell" the legos to Ben and some of his friends (I think it was 10k worth of legos each because that was the threshold for small claims court.)
So yea, there was a "sale" as part of the trying to recover them process, and yea, the original consignment deal with BAM is what started the whole ordeal.
Not a photographer, but last time I needed to share pics I used https://www.pcloud.com/. It was a good experience, I created password protected albums, and nobody had any issues accessing them. Maybe worth checking it out?
