[QUOTE="Limes, post: 4519657, member: 101013"]I really find it healthy for the hobby - and my involvement in the hobby - to see that professional sellers share their thoughts and considerations with their audience, bidders and buyers. Thank you for that. Agreed. Even though I try to avoid auction houses in the US, the principle in Europe is the same. I wonder however, because a higher estimate and starting price are also a way to attract the high-end buyers/bidders, and scare off the scavengers (like me). And what is the effect on consignors? I do not know. Unrealistic estimates (eg a VF denarius of Augustus with an estimate of 100 EUR) are also a waiste of digital space. I tend not to look at estimates, generally speaking, but research prices realized and consider my options. My image of CNG is that the target audience is more high-end, so to say. Which is ofcourse fine, and no judgement in any way. I can imagine a proper use of the starting/estimate price is - besides other things ofcourse - part of the image of an auction house.[/QUOTE]
