Jeff- I consigned the Herzog Garter that I purchased out of Heritage for $4,200. Someone paid $5,100 plus juice for it in Goodwin's auction. Not sure who bid on it or purchased it, but it doesn't really matter. I was a perfect example of someone who buys from one auction and sells through another. Why did it sell for more? Not exactly sure, but I can tell you that I did not have anyone bid on my behalf. Maybe it's because Heritage auctions are not user friendly in many ways, and Goodwin has a site easy to use. Bill comes across as a genuine dude, and I think he has great write ups and scans. I think Goodwin is one of the premier auction houses and well respected.
I chimed in!
