The auction was advertised as museum quality items and it was; however, the auctioneer grouped items in such a way as to devalue them so prices fetched were far below actual value. Many items from the estate did not make it to auction. The auctioneer was quick with responses to questions with ready answers: the condition was poor, the economy was bad, etc. Auctioneer didn't fulfill promises. Auctioneer would not allow reserves to be set on more valuable items.
Pros: Great place for antique dealers to get real bargains
Cons: Auctioneer seems to be working for antique dealers
