Out the auction house. Are you maybe thinking that by doing so you can`t go back, that maybe you can talk their prices down, or what?

A similar situation happened to me a year or so back with Heritage. Call me naive, uninformed, whatever, but their total cost took me by surprise. Felt duped. It was not my first purchase with them. I would say it's my last but you never know.

What I will say is any bids I make will take their pumped up costs into my bid. And will be a consideration if and when I have items to consign.
