Wore out three sets of tires already!
Man, it is great to hear an honest opinion from someone in the business.
I do not fault anyone for making money, or a living. And who doesn't enjoy a good auction?
I may not like the exorbitant prices some of these items bring but I also do not like to see some grieving widow get the knife again when her husband's hobby sells for a few cents on the dollar. Then the items go to another auction soon after like a Mecums or Barrett-Jacksons and skyrocket into another universe while the new sellers gloat on their good fortune.
You made the point in a way I cannot since I am not in that business. I also had not thought of the angle of auctioneers losing business due to their being honest and fair on appraisals.
When I was growing up we were taught to always be honest and fair. You reminded me that doing whats right is not always the easiest path.
Thanks man
