(a) A carrier's lien on goods may be enforced by public or
private sale of the goods, in bulk or in packages, at any time
or place and on any terms that are commercially reasonable,
after notifying all persons known to claim an interest in the
goods. The notification shall include a statement of the amount
due, the nature of the proposed sale, and the time and place of
any public sale. The fact that a better price could have been
obtained by a sale at a different time or in a method different
from that selected by the carrier is not of itself sufficient to
establish that the sale was not made in a commercially
reasonable manner. The carrier sells goods in a commercially
reasonable manner if the carrier sells the goods in the usual
manner in any recognized market therefor, sells at the price
current in that market at the time of the sale, or otherwise
sells in conformity with commercially reasonable practices among
dealers in the type of goods sold. A sale of more goods than
apparently necessary to be offered to ensure satisfaction of the
obligation is not commercially reasonable, except in cases
covered by the preceding sentence.
(b) Before any sale pursuant to this section, any person
claiming a right in the goods may pay the amount necessary to
satisfy the lien and the reasonable expenses incurred in
complying with this section. In that event, the goods may not
be sold but shall be retained by the carrier, subject to the
terms of the bill of lading and this article.
(c) A carrier may buy at any public sale pursuant to this
section.
(d) A purchaser in good faith of goods sold to enforce a
carrier's lien takes the goods free of any rights of persons
against which the lien was valid, despite the carrier's
noncompliance with this section.
(e) A carrier may satisfy its lien from the proceeds of
any sale pursuant to this section but shall hold the balance, if
any, for delivery on demand to any person to which the carrier
would have been bound to deliver the goods.
(f) The rights provided by this section are in addition to
all other rights allowed by law to a creditor against a debtor.
(g) A carrier's lien may be enforced pursuant to either
subsection (a) of this section or the procedure set forth in
W.S. 34.1-7-210(b).
(h) A carrier is liable for damages caused by failure to
comply with the requirements for sale under this section and, in
case of willful violation, is liable for conversion.
