Just been sold at Sotheby’s with there commission and the omega symbol which means u pay an extra 20% on the final price brought this up to £30,000 I can’t get my head around it lol
unnnn. Just a thought. I wonder if there was maybe something fishy going on because that price is not really normal for a set of b sigs. I remember reading a while back about sharp practices going on in the 4 large auctions houses, - I wish I had kept the article. I am not inferring that this is the case here, but it makes no sense at all that 2 people would pay that amount of money for a set of sigs on paper. Just my opin for what its worth
Any way even if they are trying to move some money let them get on with it lol , or maybe we’re over thinking it and someone have actually payed that if they have good luck to them ey lol
I think this was simply a case of two rich bidders in a bidding war. They probably didn't know what the "going rate" for such an item was or were so wealthy that it didn't matter anyway. Sotheby's have also had quite a few freak results in their internet-only movie poster auctions (e.g. James Bond UK quad at £70k!).
It also has to be remembered that this auction was publicised to the hilt. That would have drawn in a lot of wealthy unknowledgeable bidders (so-called "casual buyers").
