As a bidder, I like the Christie's auctions because it appears a lot of the material is going cheaper than it would have if it were in an REA or Heritage auction. Not saying the other auction houses are not worthy of mention.
I'll have to remember to treat these auctions like an ebay auction without a snipe program. One thing I do like is that they close the lots at a specific time and will only add 3 minutes each time the bid is topped.
If anyone won the 19th C lot of letters (lot 132), then please let me know if you are going to sell part of it.
