<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nerva, post: 2930087, member: 87761&quot;]In an auction the price can only go up. From a dealer the price only gets negotiated down. If he expects to hold it for years he has an interest in pricing high, because the market (or the US dollar) could move a lot. If he prices with a small premium people will still try to haggle down. The list price isn&#039;t always a guide the price he expects to sell for. That&#039;s why art dealers often don&#039;t post prices at all. In NYC it&#039;s a legal requirement, so they put up multiples of the real price when forced to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
