<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 912913, member: 6444&quot;]In my experience auction houses don&#039;t like to set reserves; its harder to manage and slows down the sale so they will often refuse unless it is a big ticket item that they expect to do well. Miscellaneous silver would go in a Skinner Discovery auction, and as far as I know they are very reluctant to set any reserves on their Discovery auctions. Instead they usually pass if they don&#039;t get half the low estimate amount, though they&#039;ll sometimes even go below that. Because of that I figure you should never expect to get more than half the low estimate amount when you send things to auction (I guess that makes me a pessimist).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
