Trick is simple - to remind that the auction is action, not entertainment for bored pseudoelite . Go to any auction somewhere in the south of England - it's just a hangar , which regularly exhibit and sell a variety of subjects , and note without rivers of champagne and indispensable string quartets . And the excess of the estimate is several times - no problem , he had seen . Especially on the subjects of Chinese or Russian art.
Of course, I understand that the board say "Crimea " is worth one and a half times more expensive than the price indicated in the catalog, then if it comes only one collector - he was lucky that day . On health.
It's better this way than to watch a sad spectacle with shell single sales and goings at the start. " Buy low - sell high " - has long outlived itself the principle practically working in civilized countries. In our country , it is clear " their own truth ."
