Huggins and Scott Auction bid increments good for buyers, bad for consigners

Um...there's still 4.5 days to go in this auction. I don't think any of the prices right now will matter much come the final day.

Seems to me the final price is really the only one that matters.

Interesting take on people's mentality. I used to bid my max bid first when the auction opened so I didnt have to beat myself by someone else's 10%

They always do well and they are honest auction house. Not only are they a great auction house, but they get huge action from collectors and dealers. Sorry to say but that post really does not reflect even close to the years of quality results they produce. I wish more auction houses used their model!

I like their auctions a great deal and have always done nicely with them. I like their mix of items.

As a consignor, I wouldn't mind the small increments at all. If my item is sitting at $7500, and it's not going to go to $8,000, I'd rather someone bounces it up to $7,800 than not.
