[QUOTE="4to2centBC, post: 3131140, member: 76181"]I was pretty specific, so I would not have to defend the statement I expected you to make. But here I am defending it, again. Pro bono. So I will be brief. I said Heritage because they are well advertised (sorry but your firm does not compare when it comes to eye balls) I would never suggest YOU try to sell someones Deka starting at a dollar. You draw too few bids in general, compared to the others. However, HA regularly starts bids at $1 but lists a realistic estimate. Nothing sells cheap. It's all about eyeballs and bidding activity. You have less of the first and are killing the second. That is why I recommended 50% and not $1 for you. While I might occasonally buy from you, I would never auction through you for all the reasons I have stated. A no-sale means another long delay in selling and you (Roma) end up with far too many unsolds. As for those who moaned about their low estimates and sales.....well, they should consign instead, because that is where they can best satisfy their expectations. I would not auction off my precious home. I would consign it with a reserve price (it's called hiring a real estate agent) Anyhow, it is your business, run it anyway you wish. I will sleep well either way. M[/QUOTE]
