-Bad estimates
-Bad photos (not being able to enlarge)
-Bad descriptions (not disclosing Type 1's or not, the Gehrig D&M, photos used for cards not mentioned, they didn't even mention Christy Mathewson in the Title of the 1917 Reds Team Photo, etc. etc)
-Bad marketing (never heard anything about it until the post here on NET54 just days before it, had that post not been there even greater prices would have been had)
-Reputation itself of being Christies thus high prices may have turned some away, then the auction itself yields the reverse, low prices on some
-Their moronic shipping charges may have turned some off (yet if you figured it into your bid you were fine, but the initial turnoff of being excessive kept some away I'm sure)
-Bob Freedman being on an airplane when the auction was ending, not getting his bids in always keeps the prices down : )
All combined equaled "some" good prices for the buyers.
