You are correct the market has softened a bit
But I honestly felt it should have gone for more but it did not have the broad exposure of other auction houses to get more eyes and bids on it.
A High Grade Ruth are rare and I high grade Ruth Ad Back is even more so and more desirable.
Mu un-educated experiences feels in REA, Heritage, Memory Lane that it would have gotten several more bids even in this market and closed out closer to $900K.
Good for this particular buyer to get it at that price but I feel the consignor could have gotten more money for it
