Goldin auction record breaking prices

[metsbats]

A 1999 Rickey Henderson game used Mets bat which was graded PSA 10 closed at $1593 including BP which I think may be the highest price for a Rickey gamer ever. A 2001 Henderson Padres gamer ungraded but with a Henderson coa was not too far behind at $1470. Both surpassed a 1983 Henderson gamer graded PSA 8.5 which went for $1033 in 2015 and two other PSA 10 Henderson gamers which ranged between $850 to $900 over the last year.

In 2015 a Gary Carter hit bat attributed to his 900th RBI from my collection went for $2541 which at the time was the highest price ever paid for a Carter gamer.

Keep up the good work Ken and staff and may you continue to set record breaking prices in 2017!

Re: Goldin auction record breaking prices

Thanks, and thanks as well for detail
I figure if it's a non event specific price that's good
I was happy with the price on the game used bats across the board, and I know my consignor of a lot of those bats sent me a thank you email and was happy with results.

Accepting consignments for our Jackie Robinson auction as well as out spring auction

Boy that was embarrassing. I missed the other Carter bat and that was mine too.

Thanks for the Henderson price.

Ken

The bar has been raised on Henderson bat final hammer prices

But I still think that was the highest price for a non special event or hit bat.

Re: Goldin auction record breaking prices

Just to mimic what was said earlier, I feel like there were some great buys in the auction with some under valued items.

Just an idea to throw out there Ken/Chris, what if you were to waive the consignment fee on item(s) in exchange for an auction credit? I would think this would increase your consignments and therefore increase the collected buyer premiums.

Thanks again guys.

Re: Goldin auction record breaking prices

I didn't read that items were undervalued...
Would you explain how waiving a consignment fee for an auction credit would be a benefit to the auction overall besides forcing the selling to try to overbid to ensure they don't lose the credit(which may happen with the GUU night bidding),,,when you get a statement from the auction house, the proceeds of a sale offset the expense of a winning bid , anyway...
If I had a credit in lieu of a cash payout, and, I didn't spend it, I would not be happy...

Re: Goldin auction record breaking prices

What would be the point in waiving the consignment fee for Ken or any auction house? They would then bring in less revenue and even if that made the consignor bid a little more on items the auction house would only get a % of that "overbid" back as the majority goes to the consignor of that item. Sounds like a lose and lose more for an auction house.

But to argue the other side if Ken were to hand me free money each auction I would gladly bid more How bout it Ken?

Re: Goldin auction record breaking prices

It's a pretty simple concept...

I am not willing to consign my items at a fee of 20%, so I keep my 10 jerseys in my closet.

or...

Ken waives the consignment fee for my items and I send 10 jerseys into the auction, let's say at value of $1,000 per jersey. The 10 jerseys hammer for $10,000 and Ken collects 20% in buyer's premiums and I in turn have $10,000 in auction credit to spend.

Last time I checked, $2,000 is greater than $0, and I haven't even analyzed the additional buyers premium revenue because I have agreed to spend my $10,000 in the current/future auction.

What is so difficult to understand?
