Was only making an observation. Was not attacking your favorite house. Of course a consignor can ask. I wonder how many think to ask. In addition REA has Huggins and Scott going on with even more overlap.
I am not sure if prices are hurt by having so many of the same card offered at once but I understand why an auction house would do it and have posted in their defense. Why let a competitor get the consignments by only having one of something. Bad for business.
