In order to make this process work, we need to cooperate with Leon
and have a separate chart listing the categories, the auction house
names and the 1-5 scale
We can other auction houses.
We should include Leon's new firm after they have been in business
a few months. At this point there is insufficient data to rate
his new firm.
We agree that there should also be a category for NA.
Not all collectors will be familiar with all auction houses.
Collectors who have never consigned should not rate a company
on its consignment performance. By the same token, if you
have never bid in said organization's auction, it would not be
appropriate to rate the firm.
Whilst the data won't be 100% accurate if we can secure 700-1500
completed questionnaires we will have some valuable information.
If we want to go a step further we could ask all of the auction houses
for their mailing lists, go through a massive merge and purge exercise
and then mail the questionnaire. The question would be who will fund
it and how will the funders benefit.
