No idea what Leon charges for an ad, but seems awfully short sighted for a major auction not to pony up some $$ and get face time on the largest board of high end collectors on the Internet. Not only are their no banner ads but many folks will choose not to discuss auctions here that don't bother to advertise. Hard to believe its a smart business choice.

A banner ad on this site is $150 - $475 per month.

Browsing through the auction it seems many of the items have such high minimum bids you might as well call it a Buy it Now auction. Will be curious to see what happens with that Suparman piece, but starting bid 50k?

I agree- way high opening bids

High minimim opening bids are a major turnoff. I know a hidden reserve might not be much different at the end of the day, but high openings just seem to kill an auction.
