auction house experience

unlike eBay where one can find something reasonably nice and reasonably priced, Czerny's is in Italy

and runs as most Italian family-owned businesses

as stated before by others, some altered, composite and misrepresented items, fees and "special" shipping, etc... - this is not the place to pick-up "crumbs falling off the big boys table" in my opinion, similar to some other conventional auction houses.
As Alan mentioned, many pieces that go to these auctions were bought from dealers we know or off eBay, then re-branded with added premium.
