Default What do consignors want from an auction house?

Posted By: fessgreg

as far as lots that will go for 25k or more i think they should be in the front of the catalog with a full page. if your printing a 200 to 500 page catalog then whats a few more pages. i've seen REA show hi priced lots in the middle of the catalog and i think its a mistake(at least they were full page ads). also if you put a high priced item in the middle of the catalog with a 1/4 page ad people might think there is something wrong with it(trimmed,etc.). as far as buyer's premiums of 20% i've heard of six figure lots being consigned for a + 10% of hammer. so that's were you get 20%. let's face it small lots don't generate a lot of money,big lots do. signed greg
