Anthony de Vos Posted October 16, 2021 Report Posted October 16, 2021 Hi! A one off auction. I don’t think it will be repeated on the Bonham action. Some of the prices were marketX10. Something very fishy went down on the Sothenby’s, money laundring? Who knows.. Anthony Quote

Luc T Posted October 17, 2021 Report Posted October 17, 2021 The armors were good to very good, but not top class. One can expect such prices for Daimyo class material. Easy money? Bitcoin millionaires? If you have a look at the prices for contemporary art (Banksy’s shredder 22M) or Billy the kid’s gun (6.4M) we can conclude it’s not only armor that increases in price. Quote

Luc T Posted October 17, 2021 Report Posted October 17, 2021 Bonham’s sale is another (lower) level. I don’t think we will see such moves here. Quote
