Quote from the article: Is really so? Ever heard of guaranteed lots, which are subject to compulsory redemption of the auction house in case of failure. And what kind of consolation prize?

Vladimir, Volodya at auctions, I once did not buy, first inflated prices by 30-70%, the second problem falshakov.
All the same you can buy in Russia in two or three times cheaper (I have a classic Russian art, socialist realism).
Article just like, I did zapostil who bought, can answer your question.

There lot can be guaranteed as the auction house, and some third party. Therefore, after the auction, even if the lot "to guarantee" is not sold - the buyer will receive money for it. Consolation prize - which means the same mandatory redemption. Just the buyer could get more if the lot was sold and went to bid on the price.
