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

You should consider paragon auctions, they do not charge a buyers premium. You wind up keeping all of the money!! I think they have an auction coming up in September 2012. You do not have to worry about the bundling because you are buying the page, you can do it any way that you choose.

I am just curious. Are you affiliated with Paragon in any way? I see you and they are both from NJ.

And I should mention I picked Lelands for a specific reason. All of the companies listed would do a good job though.

I am not associated with paragon in any way, I am just an educated buyer and seller and see no reason to pay fees on either end. Paragon does not charge buyers premium or sellers fees, just the flat fee.

Paragon is a good company, (and has even been a valued advertiser here) and certainly nothing against them. I would suspect that, as an educated buyer and seller, you will go where you will net the most money in your pocket. That is the only thing to consider when selling something as the OP has posted.

If a company charges $1000 to sell your item and you get $10000 for it, that is great. But it would be better if a company charged 20% and got you $15000..... Like I say, I think all of the companies listed would do a good job with those items.

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.
