Bidding against friends

Posted By: barrysloate

I have a different perspective on this issue. As an auctioneer, my job is to get my consignor the highest price possible. When I see people banding together to keep prices down, it naturally strikes too close to home.

That said, I've joined groups to buy large lots from the major auction houses so that we can all get something and not have to go head to head. So I am the first to say I live a double standard. Part of the problem is everything is just getting so expensive.

It's nice for friends to work together and respect each other, but one day you will be the consignor and may lose out because of it.
