help with consigning

[autograf]

Almost all the auction houses will give an advance for top shelf stuff. If you have a VG T206 Cobb, don't expect an advance. If you have a large batch of good quality, in demand items, shop around and see what people will offer. Legendary and REA offered nice advances on item's I've sold with them including a T206 near set. Just ensure that you put it down on paper and minimize your costs and maximize what the amount returned to you will be. If you go with the larger auction houses, be prepared to have your items placed into the larger type lots. They are looking to maximize the per lot averages in their auctions and minimize the number of pages printed in catalogs. The more boutique-type auctions like B&L will lot things in smaller lots which could net you more. Be sure to get any of those type items explained and agreed to up front.
