might be the wrong advice - but I'd try to get one Mantle with say, Heritage. and the other with, say, REA. (not necessarily recommending either and/or both of them). but you'll likely do better on the Mantle's if they aren't run by the same auction house (at least not at the same time). put one with one, and one with the other, and make them compete on terms and marketing

If you don't 'have to' sell then you can drive a hard bargain or simply not consign. I'd start by asking for no commission and 50% of the buyer's premium and take it from there. If you're offering a $250K consignment which requires little work and little catalog space, there is no reason why the AH wouldn't give back a substantial amount of its BP. They work their asses off processing a $250K large collection and have to devote lots of catalog space to it, so it should be a win-win all around even if they give back a substantial chunk of the BP.

The centering on that Russell is incredible!
I would shop it with at least 3 different houses - make sure they are all houses you are comfortable putting them with and then let each of them know you are shopping for the best return from 3 different houses and ask them for an initial offer. Let each of them know you'll give them an opportunity to beat the best offer you have after you have offers from each - DO NOT let them say just bring your best offer and we'll beat it - require that they give you an offer in order to have an opportunity to best an offer. Once you have 3 offers start with the worst offer and tell them the best offer you have - so on up the line - At the end consign to the house offering you the strongest return. I have no first hand experience getting a piece of the BP, but have heard of givebacks as high as 5%. GLWS. |
