Pete- no auction house has a policy of giving the highest cash advances. If they want your consignment they will agree to give you an advance. How much it may be is based on you negotiating with them. If you have a T206 Wagner you call all the shots. If you have more run of the mill items then you will have to be flexible. As Tom B. said the better quality and higher value your consignment, the more leverage you have. If you have more common material that auction houses get regularly, then you will not have as strong a position. It's business.
