A year has passed since the beginning of the specialized monistically auctions, and can summarize

October 25, hosted the third specialized monistically auction "Issue 3" the house "Snaky".

a year has Passed since the beginning of the specialized monistically auctions — possible and to bring Itogi.

let's Start with statistics, which does not disappoint. There are two important indicators that we always pay attention when evaluating trades. First — number of participants in the hall, second — quantity sold Lotov.

a Year ago at the first auction of the hall was attended by about thirty people, and in this time fifty - — growth by almost half. The number of lots sold also did not disappoint: a year ago it was quite decent 29 % catalog now — 56 %. So, we have growth in both major indexes almost twice @there is a very good, if you add all the crisis nuances of everyday life, it is just fine. This is mathematics, and there are the lyrics: almost all the lots sold in the hall. There were, of course, and absentee rates, but they lose more often the participants in the room. What phones? Telephone participants, as in the first time, almost was not, and this is what-то holiday-яркое. This means that people refer to the event as an everyday event when you can casually between more important things, to bet, — no, in this case, we have a very motivated audience that, putting all of the case, finds time for his Hobbies, — and it's great. Congratulations to the auction house "Znak" with a successful year of new directions of specialized trades. Especially in promoting this type of collecting merit "Sign" and its Director more than significant. Well done, especially reiterate this fact, on the background of macroeconomic negative Novostei.

I Still want to pay attention to the age of the audience. The age of the participants (and therefore collectors) — 30-45 years. It's a good sign: it means that things are on the rise and the number of collectors will only rasshiryatsa.

the Most popular section of the auction was an expected "Paper of the Russian Empire", in the second place — "Paper of the USSR" What else to add positive? Well, I guess the auction itself: most of the lots were sold at auction-то in a couple-тройку steps, and what-то and ten. The most expensive lot was the "Ticket of the State Bank of the USSR 1 chervonets 1924" (lot 144), sold on launch for 4 million rubles part-time rate. And the hard bargaining was marked by the sale of state credit card Northern Russia. 500 rubles 1919" (lot 178): three participants in the hall was not inferior to each other for dramatic eleven steps, causing the price has risen since the start of 235 000 to the winning 315 000.

Total revenues of the entire auction was about sixteen million rubles.

P.S.: Just what I was approached by one respected educational institution with a request to become the scientific Director of the graduate on the topic "Factors affecting the development of the auction business in Russia". I wondered, and, unfortunately, immediately come to mind only the factors that impede the development of the auction business (and not only) and, unfortunately, dominate our present reality. Auction "Issue 3" in house "znak" gave a great example of how the development of the auction case goes against all harmful influences. And it is particularly gratifying that collecting captures all younger audience that life goes on and auction business prodoljaetsa.
