Being a new collector myself, I can tell you from my personal perspective over the last few years that coming up with a deal outside of an auction house can and often does work out well. But auction houses for the most part ensure you a wide audience and tend to get top dollar. Although there’s a small chance you could consign what ends up being a steal for a bidder there’s just as much of a chance that you consign an item that ends up with an insane bidding war at the end and the item goes for more than you thought it would. Good luck with everything.
