You’re absolutely right that if your piece is nicer than the comps, then the odds are good that it should sell for more. But in general, that proves my point. The buyer (and seller) are likely to start their mental calculus with the last dozen sales that occurred last week, and then adjust based on the superior qualities of your piece.
Obviously if I’m the buyer, the fact that it comes out of your pop pop’s collection means nothing to me, and certainly doesn’t entice me to spend more on it.

That’s the beauty of the system! We can buy or sell what we want, for the price we want….or not. Everyone has a different buying and selling strategy and I respect yours. I just look at things differently. No one‘s right or wrong.
