If Mastro or Allen opened an auction house back up we know they'd have no problem finding consignors and bidders.

Truer words have not been spoken. I remember when I first got into the "game" some 20 years ago. I remember calling Mastro and enquiring about bidding with them. They told me I needed to pay a yearly fee to join them. Something like $25. (it might have been more - my memory is hazy) They were the only auction house that told me I needed to pay a yearly fee to bid with them. I never paid it. Looking back on things 20 years alter, were they just joshing with me, or did others have to pay "dues" to bid with Mastro??
