I think the site administrators are generally not very well join the discussion on this topic, since "the book House of the Nikitsky" quite aggressively marketed at the Artinvestmente. Banners on the site pages and articles about how great everything is for sale, it is certainly good, but not only that measured the organization's work. Without going into a discussion of the article, which of course is replete with distortion of fact, and not for us to decide now who is right and who is wrong. Obviously the article was not written by people seeking to undermine the activities of "Nikita", but rather a family of Igor on the book business, which is in my opinion an important argument. In this case, if all the same fact that the money was given away earlier than after six months as is certain, it is not clear why this was done. In practice, any bookseller-goods manager if the payment of the amounts heirs are and were, and how to act in this case according to the law all are well aware.
Another question - competence of workers auction. Unfortunately until it leaves much to be desired. The systematic lack of guidance in the descriptions of defects selling books, with those defects are not just swinging tears or abrasions, and summarized stamps, copiers, restoration (which I'm sorry, but it is impossible not to notice), inserted into the block bindings glued especially grand and royal bookplates - it is a disturbing fact. And unfortunately hope that this is done unconsciously, but simply incompetent preparers catalogs, sorry but naive. Rather, it is nevertheless consciously chosen policy of the organization. And it's very frustrating ... and so the use of such methods of work, the show incredibly high maintenance on the book, which soon come up at the next auction, what is increasingly become sin-print auctions, or allowing the owners to raise their books, for which I'm sorry, but even in Gelos , with the deliverer took a penalty, it's not good. This suggests that up to a civilized market, so everyone wants to be very, very far away. And this despite all the talk about the transparency of the market, on the development of its laws and ethical norms, receiving the "House of the Nikitsky" accreditation from the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), when he Burmistrov is Vice-President of the Russian Guild of Antiquaries-scribes (!) And also another institution of a criminal case on the second-hand bookshop (sorry, but it is becoming a bad tradition).
