Auction sought for Daufuskie's assets Almost all of the assets of bankrupt Daufuskie Island Resort & Breathe Spa could be sold at auction under a request made Wednesday in Charleston. U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge John Waites will rule later. A previously announced deal to sell the assets on the remote getaway near Hilton Head Island for $49.5 million is unlikely to occur, attorneys said. The auction idea was opposed by a private club on Daufuskie that claims purchase rights to some of the assets, including the Melrose Inn.
