[QUOTE="Asian Fever, post: 366293, member: 4494"]I guess it is the first time you went to work with famous auction houses. It is very normal for them to turn down your consignment. Because the market is flooded with replicas, and there're tons of ways to produce very real replicas through developed technology nowadays. They would like to work with famous antique dealers because these dealers are well knowledged, have sharp eyes and sensitive smell, they always can provide nice stuffs which can get a good result in large auction houses(they know what can exactly sell good, not what is really collectible). In addition, large auction houses like to resell the antiques which had sold in their auction house before. Also, large auction houses have their own stuffs to sell, that is a great portion where their profits come from. I know what you are worrying about, you want to sell it at a good price. I agree good platform is very important, but the right platform is even more important. Sell in tier 2 or tier 3 auction houses with more compatible and attractive items often lead to a great result. The right path for you is trying to find a tier 3 or tier 2 auction house such as: skinner, james d julia, freeman, etc... and build relationship with them. After that, you can probably get involved in this swimming pool and get more recognition.[/QUOTE]
