The Auctioneer's View
I was thrilled with the overall results of our October Auction. Coins were particularly strong this month, led by a fantastic estate sale collection that sold for $229,986! Fine Art continues to perform well as collectors are always eager for fresh to market pieces from listed artists. This was especially true for the oil on masonite by Henry Faulkner that sold for an impressive $21,240, more than 5x the high pre-sale estimate!
We utilized five different online bidding platforms for this sale in additional to our in-house absentee and telephone bidding. From tracking the bids on each platform, we generated sales that were 28.22% higher than using a single platform. This increase in bids contributed an additional $115,550 in auction sales for our consignors!

What makes a good auction great?
For one, having the right mix of item. This was abundantly clear in our October sale showing us that we can have a five-figure painting and a five-figure coin lot sell successfully in the same auction.
Traditionally, auction houses want to keep like items together, thus having a “coin sale” or a “fine art sale.” Here at Leonard Auction, we want to offer a great mix of items every month. Not only does this help our consignors feel less anxious, but it also excites our buyers by keeping the auction dynamics fresh! Since we offer full estate auctions every month, our consignors do not need to wait months for their items to go live into “special sales.” This in turn offers you a simple solution to help find new homes for your treasures quickly.
