So that is why they had a joint auction.I talked to John a bit in January at the Beinfield. I've known John since 1980. I wonder why he called it quits and what is he going to be doing?
My guess would be CA regulations and the fact that the competition for good merchandise is really getting fierce.
Carol Watson must be taking a lot of steam from John. A lot of John's long time customers have died and or their estates must have already been sold off. The ability to build in depth collections as one used to see even 15 years ago is gone. It would take mega dinero to build one today. Another one bites the dust...So sorry to see it happen.
BTW I am getting tired too.
