Auction Update Review
Rare Book Hub: 46 Auctions Archived, another 48 Upcoming this Week
For the week ended 8 August, 46 auctions have been archived to Rare Book Hub’s Transactions+; 1 denominated in Australian dollars, 4 in euros, 11 in British pounds, 1 in Mexican pesos, 1 in New Zealand dollars, and 28 in US dollars.
Turnover was $5,492,001.64. The average lot sold for $708.10.
Forty-eight fresh sales will close during the current week.
As we become more familiar with this process we expect two effects. It will encourage auction houses to add staff for Categories that are heavily trafficked. For collectors, those Categories that reflect their interests, will become part of their collecting routine. In this way in time, their collections will prosper, becoming more intense, more liquid and valuable.
