The Auctioneer's View
Our March sale, completed strong first quarter of sales for Leonard Auction. Sales across all of the categories were very solid with especially fantastic results in Asian Arts and Jewelry.
We utilized five different online bidding platforms for this sale in additional to our in-house absentee and telephone bidding. This provided a 96.53% sell through rate!
We look forward to continuing our strong 2022 in the second quarter.

What hidden gems do you have hidden within your home? In our March sale, we had hundreds of items POP over our stated estimates, which is HUGE for our clients! In fact, we had 40.49% of items sell over their stated estimates.
One excellent example was lot number 24 the Chinese Silver Loving Cup. The silver value on this piece was about $665 and our estimate was $800-$1,200. The final sales price was a smashing $12,500! This piece came from a happy family home just north of us in Elk Grove Village.
Please let us know if you have anything you would like us to look at. We are always happy to help.
