<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volodya, post: 2756896, member: 19615&quot;]OTOH, if you were sitting in the room with your hand up and the lot closed before your bid was recognized, would you consider that you&#039;d been treated fairly if the auctioneer refused to reopen the lot? If you were the consignor, would you be happy to learn that you would&#039;ve realized a higher return if all the floor bids had been executed? Orfew&#039;s complaint is entirely warranted--he absolutely should&#039;ve been given the opportunity to bid higher. The consignor has a valid complaint as well, but what would be the fairest outcome, <b>given that the system in place is flawed?</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>I would suggest to Orfew that he ask for consideration on future auctions; having the buyer&#039;s premium waived on x amount of future winning bids might be a reasonable compromise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
