Poll: Which auction house would you go with for this estate lot?

[drc]

I'm from Washington State and am not associated with Microsoft.

I've never met Jay Buhner either.

Though I did once date a woman who once sang in a grunge band. So I will refrain from making musical recommendations in this thread. I won't even hum as I type.

Mears is good.

I based my vote according to what the items are. I am sure all the auctions are fine, but based upon what your particular items are, I would go with Hunt.

I have no problems with bundling certain items, so long as it is done strategically (read: logically). To me, lumping WS programs together simply because they are WS programs makes no sense. Sure, there might be the odd collector looking to fill gaps in a run of years, but in my opinion, that is generally a lazy move and one that would probably dilute the overall value more than I'd like than if they had been properly listed.

So long as there's a "method to the madness" (an entire run of scored programs from one WS, one program from each stadium in the WS, etc...), I'm fine.

In the grand scheme of lots we see on this board, I'll be the first to admit that this one is certainly on the lower end. However, I'm no different from most everyone else in that I'd like to maximize my return. I'm only in it for an even grand, but I see enough upside to at least double that.

Logically bundling lots to maximum the auction price is good for both you and them. Their take is a percentage of the final prices.

[travrosty]

consign one item to each auction house to spread it around and give everyone a chance.

[cjedmonton]

haha, I love it! I do have nine '53 programs, so that would be a cool experiment.

I agree with Bobby. Based on the items, I think Hunts would be the way to go. They seem to sell a lot of this same stuff so they must have a good following with it.

Don't mean to resurrect a 100 day old thread, but I opted for Huggins & Scott's auction starting Oct 1st.

So far, it's been a positive experience dealing with them (communication, forthcoming, good descriptions, reasonable fees, etc...).

I'm confident I"ll at least break even. Now if I can only resist refreshing their page every few hours....
