Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice may be saved the spectacle of her belongings being sold at a public auction. Her lawyer told RadarOnline.com exclusively that they are now hoping to conduct the sale privately.

“We concluded that we do not believe that a public sale would be in the interest of anyone,”  James A. Kridel, of The Kridel Law Group, told RadarOnline.com about his conversations with John Sywilok, the trustee attorney.

Kridel says while no official orders have been filed towards a private sale, that is what he is working towards.

Kridel claims the decision isn’t about saving face, but about “common sense.”

“We concluded that we didn’t think that the public sale would draw any additional money,” he explained further. “So it would be an exercise in futility.” Kridel says the private sale would sell off the Giudices’ belongings as one big package, rather then selling of individual items.

“Typically there would be an agreed upon price and it would be sold to an individual or individuals at a set price which we believe would be more than we could get at a public sale. And then it has to go before the court and usually it would have to be approved by the court.”

Though the October 3 public auction is still being advertised on the auctioneer’s website, Kridel says the date could change since they are pushing for a private sale, which still has to be approved by a judge.

As Danielle Staub remains coy about her future on Bravo’s Real Housewives of New Jersey, RadarOnline.com has new details about her potential spin-off show.

“A spin-off is in the works,” a source told RadarOnline.com exclusively. While the deal is still in talks, the source says it will “loosely reflect the character she started on the Real Housewives and the future of her career, her high-profile life, her kids, her being a ‘mom-ager.’ But she also has a normal life with her assistant and the whole team surrounding her.”

The source, who has been involved in conversations about the spin-off, says it is being produced by Sirens Media, the same company behind the Bravo reality show.

“It’s going to be a spin-off that’s a combination of her persona that’s loosely based on her Real Housewives character and the evolution of where she is now,” the source added. “With Danielle, you either hate her or love to hate her.”

Though the source acknowledges that Danielle’s villainous persona might make people steer clear of a spinoff, the source bets that they would eventually get “sucked in.”

When asked to comment about her status on Real Housewives and a potential spin-off, Danielle gave an ambiguous statement to RadarOnline.com, refraining to reveal any future plans:  “Actually, I’m not even thinking about season 3 right now as I am considering many incredible options that have been presented to me. Right now I just want to let fans know that we have a fantastic finale coming up next week and explosive reunion shows on August 30 and September 6.”
