If you do not agree with that - then you go to another venue.
And you simply misunderstand the statement of the Gooding staff. Again, they are there to assist THEIR customers (please understand the customer is not YOURS). And their staff has been well versed in all of their selections. Do they know everything? Not hardly. But they do know EXACTLY how David Gooding wants the potential customer handled, and they know EXACTY what the auction house wants them to talk about with the buyers. THAT is how a high-line auction house is run. You (the seller) are a secondary asset.
And that comes form a seller that has bought & sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of vehicles with them and knows how & why it is done.

Thanks, good to know. As I previously mentioned, in the past decades, I have usually been a buyer or have taken customers ( high end ) cars for auction to expertly and honestly represent and returned to my customer, in as consigned condition, if not sold. So yes, I doubt I will ever use Goodings services. with those conditions, if inforsed.
