If you gave him notice to remove the property and he failed to do so; and if you gave notice of your intent to sell, then it is unlikely that you would be held liable for the disposal of the property. You may be required to pay him for what the property was sold for, less reasonable storage and costs of sale charges for the time you had the property.
