In Response To: Markets inside markets? ()

I don't think you can read much into an auction catalogue being sold on post auction. There's a lot of it goes on.
Especially when the starting bid is about it's original cost.

If it fetches a fortune then that's a different matter!

: I was wondering how long it would take but I actually expected the
: first Haslinger 'piece' on the bay to be a watch!

: market? I suppose many of the auction prices could in themselves
: support the proposition of a Haslinger sub market and any
: subsequent sales will simply confirm that that was achieved on
: the day. If that is right, are there other examples of pieces
: from individual collections developing into sub markets? I know
: celebrity collections/pieces often attract premiums. If I am
: taking this too far, I think we all expect to see 'Haslingers'
: crop up for sale from time to time - the smart sellers might

: Heuers for sale 'as seen at the Bonhams auction.'?]
