Default You Don't Want to Believe It But It Is a Zero Sum Game

Posted By: barrysloate

Here's another way to look at it: in my current auction I have lots that are very interesting to me, and lots that aren't. But that is irrelevant. It is important to me that each of them does well, and a commission on a boring lot is the same as a commission on an interesting one.

A buyer has a completely different read on it. An interesting lot is potentially worth a great deal to him, while a boring one is relatively worthless.

I'm not sure what this proves, but it must prove something.
