Thanks. As many already know, buyers don't really care about about auction houses pre-sale estimates, but in order to upload we must have a default. It's been my experience that knowledgeable buyers and collectors only care about what they are willing to pay at that time for a specific item, not what some auction hall expert expects to get for an item. I had a pre-sale estimate on a card that was 10-20 grand and it brought $92,000. I've also had a pre-sale estimate on a card of 2000-3000 and it brought $500. In my experience pre-sale estimates are more for the consignor rather than the buyer, but we will look at it more in depth as we get going. Thanks again
