This could backfire on the seller, then, if the only reason for the auction
is to get a value for insurance purposes.  If people know there's no way
they'll ever match the reserve, they won't bid on it.  Since it's not • honest
to get a valuation of your collection this way, I think he's wasting
everyone's time.  There's no way he'd still stick with whatever the maximum
bid was as his collection's value if it's only say six or seven thousand
anyway.

I think he may have gotten closer to his asking price if he had spent more
time documenting his collection. I'm sure this would have taken a lot of
time, but people expect a lot if they are spending a lot of money.
