You're wrong! Auctions are dead!

Nice!

[i*m-still-here]

What i see as a buyer of antiques is that auctions are taking on a second life.

Auction items are selling for more money, and BIN items which are typically over-priced in the collector's market are not moving.

Those high end often over-priced items do better elsewhere.

Of course there are numerous exceptions, but that trend is becoming more pronounced all the time.
