Consignment/Auction House Question
Variations of this have been asked previously, however I am looking to auction/consign a good chunk of my collection and not sure where to start. I have purchased from every major auction house (and some not so major) and not sure who would be a better fir for my offering. All my items are prewar and include names such as Cobb, Wajo, Ruth, etc. Total value upwards of $50K spread amongst 15-20 items.
Obviously, I would like the best exposure, best terms and ultimately the best return. How does one decide?
Until recently, I have only consigned with REA, and am getting 10% commission taken out of hammer price.
What are everyone's suggestions, recommendations and advice on navigating something like this?
