<p>[QUOTE=&quot;916Bulldogs123, post: 266252, member: 75&quot;]I have received emails from Witherell&#039;s auction house and was wondering if this is a good deal or not. anyone who has dealt with auction houses i could use your expert advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the last emails i received. the first is after i sent them another email asking why i haven&#039;t heard from them</p><p>Mikey</p><p><br /></p><p>(From Brian)</p><p>Good morning,</p><p><br /></p><p>My apologize. The email was somehow overlooked.</p><p><br /></p><p>We would be interested in accepting this on consignment but it&#039;s a difficult painting to accurately value. Attached are prices realized on askart in the event you don&#039;t have access. </p><p><br /></p><p>If pressed to assign an auction estimate I would error on the side of caution and put $1,000-2,500.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kind regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Brian Witherell, COO</p><p>Witherell&#039;s Inc</p><p><br /></p><p>(from Me)</p><p>Sounds good to me.</p><p>Should I put it back in the frame? Or as it is?. What happens if it doesn&#039;t sell?</p><p>I can bring it to you as I live in the Sac area.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good morning,</p><p><br /></p><p>It would probably be best to put it back in the frame. Our auctions are unreserved so everything sells. The estimate is just a guide for bidders and consignors on what we feel is the approximate value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our office is open Monday through Thursday from 9 am to 4:30 pm. Please make an appointment with Aundrea (916) 446-6490 during this time frame. </p><p><br /></p><p>It would be sold in our International Arts Auction (718MMI01) with an estimate of $1,000-2,500. We&#039;ll reduce our commission to a flat 15%. We also charge a $50 processing fee and insure it at 1.5%.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kind regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Brian Witherell, COO</p><p>Witherell&#039;s Inc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
