I agree with Johnny S. completely. Venue is pretty much irrelevant. Getting a high price at auction is all about who is bidding, period. Find the right combination of bidders and you might set a new price record. Offer the same lot a month later when these same bidders have lost interest and you might get a weak price. Auctions are a crapshoot and it's always good to sell something when it is hot, and the buyers are out there. I've had incredible results on ebay, and I've consigned to the biggest auction houses and gotten killed. And vice versa.
