[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 362626, member: 51"]This is similar to a response I got on something from Sotheby's a few years ago, but even had less info. Sotheby's just said that they were 'not interested'. Maybe these places are getting more inquiries post-internet, and have to keep things short. Crocker farms said it didn't meet their criteria (which could mean a bunch of things -- valuable yes, but they don't auction damaged items, etc.) But reading the cut and pasted response, they did give some key information. They said[I] "due to a relatively low value, this would not be a good fit for our auction[/I]"[I]. [/I] If you trust their appraisal 100%, if this is for resale, at least you have some info about value. Again, if you trust their appraisal. I agree, missing Don.
