Default What do consignors want from an auction house?

Posted By: Sean Coe

1. Communication- I hate sending something to an auction house and then once it arrives never hearing anything. Let me know what you think the reserve should be, how it will be described etc..
2. Catalog- Yes I think there important. I want to see my item displayed in an as attractive manner as possible. The description should be accurate, detailed but please no purple prose. I have a reporter friend who reads my catalogs and in between convulsive laughter he'll point out various over the top descriptions.
3. Publicity- The more collectors who know about an auction the better.
4. Honesty- Self explanatory I think. This also means letting me know if my item is right for an auction. I'd rather wait than have my item included where few may have any interest.
