<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 107176, member: 25&quot;]Better research than I was able to manage. Looks like the date was about right, and some one or two people fancied it because the winning bid was £420, about $650 or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>So in the end, the buyer will be paying about £500 with the buyers premium, and I will get about £380.&nbsp; This is about&nbsp; £300 more than I would have asked for it at an antiques fair, and probably had no takers at that, so I don&#039;t begrudge the magnitude of the auction fees, although I am a bit annoyed about them messing up the Chimu vessel sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Greg, I am sorry to hear about your document, but I think you were screwed by the valuer, anyone with any ethics would have told you informally that the thing was not worth engendering that kind of a fee. Normally valuers charge a very small percentage of the valuation amount, looks like you fell foul of some &#039;minimum charge&#039; term.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
