I believe you will generally get more money consigning to a good auction than selling to a dealer. Dealers are in the business of buying as low as possible. Auctioneers get a percentage, but are in the business of getting the highest auction prices possible. Auctioneers want you to make more money, because that means they more money. Many dealers want you to sell for as low as possible, because that's how they make money.
