<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rich Beale, post: 4543479, member: 77960&quot;]The consignors are our customers too. For a good number of them, this is their only source of income right now. If you were a consignor, I&#039;m sure you would be displeased if we weren&#039;t selling the coins you had entrusted us with even though we still had the means to do so. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t comment on other firms&#039; abilities to ship or not, but obviously it all depends on their country&#039;s response and exposure to the COVID-19 emergency, as well as their office space. London office space is extortionately expensive (our modest footprint is charged at the same rate as the grand palazzo of one of our colleagues in Rome), and so it&#039;s not so easy for us to social-distance, hence reduced staffing on-site. That said, things are improving for now and we&#039;re back to 50% staffing levels.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you can&#039;t or don&#039;t want to wait a little bit for your auction wins then of course don&#039;t bid, we won&#039;t be offended. We are however prioritising anyone who tells us they need their lots urgently for any particular reason, and hope to be back to normal operations as soon as the government and the health &amp; safety conditions allow it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
