Default What do consignors want from an auction house?

Michael- I agree presentation is important, but let's take a hypothetical situation.

You have a copy of my current catalog, and on the front page I have the two lots I deemed the best in the sale: the N167 Connor, and the N175 Ward. And let's say you were very interested in the N167, and you decided you were going to go to a maximum of "x" number of dollars for it.

So are you saying if I decided to boot the N175 to page two, and gave the N167 the full first page, you are prepared to raise your max bid? If that is true, my next catalog is going to be poster size and every lot will be pictured three feet tall!
