Never consigned with Goldin, but did have a similar issue with another auction house that was having monthly auctions (who isn’t these days, right?).
My item sold for about $9k initially, and the winning bidder didn’t pay, so they put it back into their next auction. I think this was around July 2020, so naturally it sold for $12k the second time around, and the new winner paid for it right away.
Of course, today is would probably go for more like $30k.
Kinda sad to be that first winner who missed out. Not sure if they just got scared, or if they never really had the cash to pay for it, and they were just screwing around by bidding on something they couldn’t really buy.
