<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AussieCollector, post: 4516536, member: 81093&quot;]Hi [USER=112660]@MSG 78[/USER]</p><p><br /></p><p>As a CT member who has participated in CNG auctions on a number of occasions, I really appreciate you taking the time to engage us on discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p>From my perspective. it&#039;s great to understand how you go about estimating price. But, I&#039;m not sure it&#039;s that helpful for collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, for example, in yesterday&#039;s timed auction, I had my eye on a few owls (my cross-hairs focused on the more affordable offerings). I wasn&#039;t being picky, and any of them would have been fine (I&#039;m not a picky collector). Many of these more affordable options were estimated at $300. However, none of them ended up being close to that, with the lowest going for $425.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that&#039;s fine, it is what it is, but when we&#039;re seeing really consistent pricing over and above estimates, you have to start wondering about the value of the estimates.</p><p><br /></p><p>As above, perhaps &quot;low retail&quot; would be a more accurate measure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my 2 owls</p><p><br /></p><p>AC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
