Would You Bid at Antiquorum?
Has my 10+ year avoidance of Antiquorum Auctions been correct? They will be auctioning a relatively tough, not super rare, vintage reference soon that I have been interested in for quite some time but has always eluded me. They grade it AAA excellent with all original parts. If it were you, do you bid or not?

Even the worst seller can have a good watch. And despite what you often read on the forum, you're buying the watch, not the seller. I would just go into it with great skepticism.

Yes, just like eBay/c24…..just don’t rely on their in-house experts write-up’s….most are frankly just arse gravy !

Antiquorum is one auction house that I no longer frequent, nor would I purchase anything there.

Never bought there - but even a great offering shouldn't entice you to trade with a potentially bad seller.
It's just my mantra (and others') to buy the seller first. Many "stories" in the past. Google is your friend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I've gone to auctions for 40 years and there is one rule that has heeded me well.:
If the auctioneer charges a buyers premium, they are a crook. |
