David, it is Rhys (not Rhett) that is the principal at RMY Auctions. My parents still get us confused so you are in good company
I can understand where you guys are coming from when you look at the results. RMY Auctions deals almost entirely in photographs and doesn't have the luxury of whittling down the given photos in each auction to perhaps the 10-20 absolute best pieces like another larger auction house can. As a result it can appear like the items overall are a little more "shop worn" but don't forget that when a photo is of premium quality the piece speaks for itself and will sell for a great price...
