Christies auction partner thread

Hope Christies stays out of the baseball business going forward. This was Storage Wars not a proper auction. Probably some amazing items lurking in the dark corners but I found the presentation completely exasperating.

Having spent an hour there on Monday looking through the photo lots, what you just said is a vast understatement! I was stunned. Fantastic stuff that was not only not pictured in the lots but not even mentioned in the descriptions.

As per my previous post, I'm very disappointed in how they operate their auctions (saying I didn't get outbid notice due to an IT glitch is just ridiculous).

Anyway...if whoever won Lot 153 (WALTER O’MALLEY LETTER REGARDING BROOKLYN DODGERS RELOCATION), is a member here, I'd love to chat regarding a possible quick (profitable) flip.

As a bidder, I like the Christie's auctions because it appears a lot of the material is going cheaper than it would have if it were in an REA or Heritage auction. Not saying the other auction houses are not worthy of mention.

I'll have to remember to treat these auctions like an ebay auction without a snipe program. One thing I do like is that they close the lots at a specific time and will only add 3 minutes each time the bid is topped.

If anyone won the 19th C lot of letters (lot 132), then please let me know if you are going to sell part of it.
