On Thursday, Liberty Auction in Pembroke, Georgia, was swamped as it auctioned off the furnishings from the hunting lodge, according to CBS News.

Emily McGarry, who works for the auction house, estimated 3,000 people showed up for the auction.

“I think some people were nosy and just wanted to look at things. We had a lot of people who just wanted to have some sort of a token,” she said.

“We had a Yeti cup – just a regular Yeti cup – that sold for $400. We had a pair of longhorns hanging on the wall; those sold for $10,000.”

All in all, McGarry said, “It went very smoothly. We didn’t have any issues from anybody. Everyone was calm and patient, and it was a great night.”

She did not reveal a total for the items sold on Thursday.

“We think these are very novel pieces. They came from a very nice plantation lodge in South Carolina, and we want them to live on. … We try to specialize at our lodge … very unique things that are conversation pieces for people and they can sit around and talk,” Jennings said.

Fox News quoted one bidder who said it was never too early for holiday shopping.

“We’re here to buy Christmas presents for the rest of the family. Trying to get them something from the Murdaugh trial.

“Everybody found it very interesting, so we’d like to get them a little … something to remember the … events,” said the attendee, whose name was not used by Fox News.
