<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clutteredcloset49, post: 291761, member: 85&quot;]So, let me see if I understand this.</p><p>The auction house will charge you $6500, to sell it as $22 - 28,000.&nbsp; And then what cut will they take as a percentage of the sale?&nbsp; Add that to the $6500 and do they end up taking half or more?</p><p><br /></p><p>You have a bid of $15-2500. for restoration from someone, who I presume you have had other dealings with.&nbsp;&nbsp; As you seem to know your way around the art world.&nbsp; Do they have examples of some of their restorations?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You might try contacting some of the other high end auction houses and ask them if you spent the money on restoration what they thought they might get.&nbsp; What their percentages would be,&nbsp; add that to the 2500. Is it a better deal than the first auction house.&nbsp; Don&#039;t forget about asking for a reserve.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
