My two cents worth !!!
I have dealt with various auction houses over the years, each having their own way of doing business, some good and others bad . There is another way of disposing of collections or single items----a trustworthy dealer. I have used both with usual success---you can not expect to have the last buck end up in YOUR pocket. They have to make a profit and/or living.
The best results that I have received as of late is James Julia in Maine and my dealings have been with Wes Dillon. I have not dealt with Jos Loewensteiner for the simple reason of our association with the PGCA and being accused of a possible conflict of interest.
