  I say WEAK. For cocoa the same reason it has become or is
such. Location, not professionalism and so on.
You can do an experiment. Give the same things (expensive)
different people with different social status, such
employee of the bank and the unemployed. Even if you tell them the price
selling things, they sell it in different ways. From banker
think will not bargain, and the unemployed sure prevailed
to expend an amount equal to the next few days. And so everywhere.
All the rest is luck.

I think not very good comparison ... I assure you that if you give two people outside the art world are two identical cost expensive item, they will find how to sell their maximum with a 10%discount, and even for the same price ... We talking about stupid people ... Of course, those who have a maximum of schooling, are unlikely to bother to look for, where to sell ... How can quickly "cut" for so much and will sell ...

My dear Master,

If we do not take into account the possibility of resorting to a major auction house (but until recent years random owners of works of art are rarely solved in a variety of reasons - lack of knowledge of the environment, the costs will not return if neprodazhi, etc.), I think Nicola rights.
Depending on the social position of different people have different opportunities to sell the good work of art. As for the galleries and antique dealers, it is precisely on this, and they earn their living: more recently (the last time the situation has changed), France 90%of the buyers and the provincial antique shops, and at provincial auctions were Parisian antique dealers, who then resold the purchased objects in their own shops. And not that provincial professionals do not know the value of their things, everyone just got their margins, and each had its own clientele, therefore, everyone was happy with his deal.

However, the example of Gauguin think insolvent: Provided that hozyani paintings knows that his painting - Gauguin (and who is Gauguin), no difficulties with the sale can not see. Recently the precedents: the taxi driver, with whom Rauschenberg once paid their jobs recently, any type, to obtain a picture of Bacon, do not remember for what, and on the Russian market of vendors abound. Everything is now just that - run take their pictures at auction)
