[QUOTE="Joan, post: 9504986, member: 5398"]Thank you for posting the results of your auction. I was glad to see the auction company shows the price realized. I'm especially interested in your auctions because I'm helping my sister organize a houseful of antiques and vintage items, including lots of vintage clothing, for a HiBid auction, which is a first for both of us. I sell vintage clothing on eBay, but didn't want to sell my sister's things because of the time involved and minimal expenses to offset the income. She has 1930's dresses similar to yours, so now I have some idea of what they might sell for. They way your dresses were photographed on hangers is exactly the way my sister's auctioneer said he photographs clothing, but he won't have any individual photos like you provided your auction company. Considering the auctioneer does most of the work for HiBid auctions, and bidders don't always get the kind photos and details they would on eBay, I think the prices realized for your dresses are reasonable. Another consideration is that most vintage clothing on eBay is sold as Buy It Now vs auction, and BIN items usually sell for more than auction items. I would be interest to know how you feel about the results of your auction.[/QUOTE]
