<p>[QUOTE=&quot;laura9797, post: 10330106, member: 9323&quot;]Might not have sold at all.&nbsp; If you look at the bidding history, there was an internet bid (legit bid) then competing bids back to back.&nbsp; Likely the auction house was running up the bid.&nbsp; Back when I catalogued for my first auction house, we were taught to study to bidding behavior before considering that &#039;sold&#039; result as a true comparable.&nbsp; We were also told to look for that same item up for sale again. The consignor might have had a reserve and they didn&#039;t want to have a low bid amount on record for that artist in case of a resale.&nbsp; Now they could also be selling the same time on invaluable or bidsquare but that would have been a red flag for us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
