<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 591511, member: 5833"]Suspect consignor insisted they all go as one lot; perhaps he's a good client of theirs. Otherwise, they would have done better, for him & themselves, if they had weeded out the ones that should have been thrown out when settings were scrapped, made a couple of lots of the ones that might still be of interest to someone making cameo rings of the standard types & sold the better pieces as a lot of their own. I don't know how bidders would have any idea of what's a good price if they can't come to see them all laid out in person & then start totting up how much they would be willing to pay for the ones they might actually want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
