Questions to ask when selecting an Auction House (?)

[G1911]

This is at least the third thread directly about this sale and what the items are still cannot even be said. How many non-BST threads will we have flooding the board as this marketing plan continues to roll out?

Probably not too many more. It's going to be ok. Please don't panic.

We all know what the industry leading auction houses are. It’s not rocket science.

Beyond that it’s just a matter of communicating your expectations.

Just want to close the loop on this thread and thank the members here who offered advice and help with how to select the best auction house partner - I was in Cleveland last week and made very helpful connections and felt quite prepared to have informed discussions with some of the major AH's thanks to the input and help from many of you here - some follow-up private messages were super helpful too.

I also hope threads like this provide helpful information to others who are considering consigning - I have found out that not all AH's are alike, it's more than just a numbers (% of BP, etc.) decision and putting a little extra thought and time into the process will likely have a pay-off in the end.

Thanks again -

Jeff

Different auction houses have better histories of selling some things that other AH's do. So, comparing how they did with the same type items should give a clue who to go with. Good luck!

Guess we need a new advanced stat to cover finding the most attractive consignment option:

Thx Leon… having gotten well under the hood has been a really interesting (and helpful) experience.

I’ll report back when things settle in!
