excerpts:
Meininger's attorney, Allan Watkins, said Tuesday that the trustee has been contacted by three people who have interest in purchasing Anthony's life story.
Meininger received a written offer for $10,000 to prevent Anthony or others from publishing or profiting from her story in the future.
Watkins also said he has received a $12,000 bid, and a New York man contacted him today about another offer.

Florida judge delays decision on selling rights to Casey Anthony's life story
By Elizabeth Chuck, Staff Writer, NBC News
"... Nonetheless, one bidder has already offered $10,000 – to bury her life story, he says – and more are waiting in the wings, according to her bankruptcy trustee."
"Meininger said he's received at least two written offers from people interested in buying the exclusive rights, and others who have expressed interest."
"We haven't really discussed figures, which is one of the reasons why we wanted to set up auction procedures at the hearing," he said Tuesday morning ahead of the hearing. He did say one of the offers was for $12,000.
NBC's Kerry Sanders reported on TODAY that an Austin, Texas, attorney, James Schober, put in an offer of $10,000, but that bid was made on condition of preventing the story from ever getting out so Anthony would never profit from it.
"As much as I would like to think otherwise, Casey Anthony's story has value," Schober said.
Schober testified in Tuesday's court hearing via phone, WESH.com reported, and issued a statement explaining the reasons why he wanted to buy the rights to Anthony's story.
""(First)... to demonstrate that the asset has present value;
second, to ensure that the proceeds from the sale of the asset are applied to the payment of her existing debts (which is a basic premise of Chapter 7 bankruptcy); and third, to ensure that the sale of the asset takes place in the clear light of day," he said.
No specifics about the second offer were given in court on Tuesday, other than that it came from a New York man who was looking to tell the story for entertainment value.
