1. ““The law relating to judicial sale has been well settled in this state for many years. The granting or denying of confirmation rests in the court’s broad discretion which is encompassed by the rule that a sale will not be set aside merely because the price is inadequate. Strong v. Catton (1853), 1 Wis. 408 ( ); Gumz v. Chickering (1963), 19 Wis. 2d 625 , 121 N. W. 2d 279 . However, the sale may be set aside or not confirmed if the inadequacy of the price is caused by a mistake, misapprehension, or inadvertence on the part of the interested parties or intending bidders, or the inadequacy is so great as to shock the conscience of the court. Barnard v. Coates (1965), 28 Wis. 2d 1 , 135 N. W. 2d 809 ; Bihlmire v. Hahn (1966), 31 Wis. 2d 537 , 143 N. W. 2d 433 , certiorari denied, 387 U. S. 905 ; Mueller v. Mizia (1967), 33 Wis. 2d 311 , 147 N. W. 2d 269 ; Hales Corners Savings & Loan Asso. v. Kohlmetz (1967), 36 Wis. 2d 627 , 154 N. W. 2d 329 . This is traditional descriptive language meaning an injustice to the owners of property would result if the bid were approved.””
