(b) Nothing in this section may be construed to authorize a person to sell more of the property than is sufficient to pay charges due the person on the property.
(c) A person who sells, loans, or otherwise disposes of property contrary to the provisions of AS 34.35.220 and this section without the consent of the owner of the property shall, for each offense, forfeit and pay to the owner a sum equal to the market value of the property, and 50 percent of the market value in addition as a penalty. In this subsection, “market value” means the price the property bears at the time the owner makes demand on the person for it.
