And on this one I mostly disagree with my you, Val. I have proof of results and if it's the right item, it can easily sell for more without a catalog. It all depends on who is bidding, not a pretty picture. That being said, I would agree that sometimes a catalog can help, not on a Cobb - Lenox though. When I am aggressively bidding it's online, not on catalog. And all of this said, of course I wanted to memorialize my collection sale but that was extraordinary. I have probably consigned to as many companies without a catalog as with one. I rarely even open the catalogs anymore.....
To answer the original quesion, Best Auction House? Any one of our advertisers.
