<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 9838033, member: 182"]As they say on Antiques Roadshow "At a <i><b>well advertised </b></i>auction with the <i><b>right people</b></i>, this item could sell for the moon." I've seen this type of thing happen many many times (although on a much smaller scale). That first auction was either not advertised well or at all or the wrong audience had eyes on it. Also, may have been at the wrong auction venue. I saw a giant diamond ring at a local auction once that nobody bid on because they didn't have a market for resale. The auctioneer should have told the consignor to place the ring at an auction house with the ability to sell it for what it was worth. Instead, it was sold to a local jeweler for peanuts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
