A few years back I liquidated the mayor part of my collection. There was no way I was going to sell piece by piece far too much work involved. I settled for a so called specialist auction house or should I just say a good one. Yes the auction take their cut but they can and do draw the right crowd. It is nerve racking but that goes with collecting . Not everybody sees what you see and fashions change {ivory}. I believe I got a good return on my investment bearing in mind early prices where not what they are these days. What I found interesting was that many of the pieces that were rather pricey when I bought them did not do as well as expected, I was once told by a dealer that you will get a better return on the more expense {quality} pieces when I was struggling to collect on a shoe string budget. I found most of the pieces had searched for at low prices did very well indeed. What I have left manly from the Amazon is on ice probably for the next decade.
