If these are from Neil at Chronomaster, then one consideration is that Neil has always sold at very reasonable prices.

: Hi Jeff,

: Thanks for the work on this. I studied the descriptions and
: starting range price levels. It looked to me that these prices (
: in Euro) seem rather low compared to present prices. In many
: cases lower than the average catalogue level at the AH auction
: in London ( which was in pounds; today 1 GBP = approx. 1.20
: Euro). Is there an explanation for that big difference ??
: Today's typical buyers who go to an auction in Monaco may be
: affected by the economic situation, but that doesn't seem to
: have hit on today's Heuer prices I would say. On the contrary.
: Also have a look at Rich's website which is a rather nice
: reflection I think.

: Does anybody have an explanation for these starting price levels?
: Are pricing eroding, are the watching in a so-so condition, or
: is it a Bonham marketing trick to attract more attendants to the
: auction?

: Cheers
: Ron
