Vermont § 308 - § 7—308.

§ 308. § 7—308.

• Enforcement of carrier’s lien (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 subsection 7—210(b) of this title. (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. (Added 2015, No. 51, § B.3, eff. June 3, 2015.)
