    Good business, Antiquorum is just trying to find sellers, remember, Auction houses get paid whether you are buying or selling, as most have buyer's premium and seller's premium. The more watches they get in consignment the more money they make.
    Wouldn't surprise me at all if other major auction houses will offer "Virtual Valuation" in the days ahead.

    Yes, it will simplify making money.

    Maybe eBay’s evaluators could clear up any initial backlog by using this service ;)

    Auction houses always need a steady stream of product, so not a bad way of doing it. I just would never use Antiquorum. Last time I used them in 2014 to sell some items they didn't pay per the contract terms. Constant delays (cash flow issues) until I got a third party involved to pry the payment out of them many months later. Perhaps they have cleaned up their financial problems since that time.

    Yes, their reputation was rather badly damaged back then. I'm actually surprised that they didn't "re-brand".

    Apparently cons can sing (and it’s called ‘consinging’) (where are the PCPolice when you need them) :whistling:
