Comment AI:

IN the context of the auction of all that is associated with Vysotsky, you should try to write without emotions — such work. Bronze death mask is exhibited with the estimate of 30-50 thousand euros. The price is very high, I assume the mask will be sold in the range of 30-40 thousand Euro@

a Poem exhibited with an estimate of 10-15 thousand euros. In the past two years, demand for things related to the name of Vysotsky, grows. If his autographs were sold in the range of 100 000, recently the prices have increased almost an order of magnitude. For example not far to walk not necessary: at a recent auction house "literary Fund" lot number 307 "Vysotsky, V. S. Primary unknown variant of poems [draft manuscript] of the song "Hangman"" from the start at 80 thousand rubles was sold for 900 000 rubles, which is expressed in euros about 13 000. So start at the last poem in 10 thousand Euro does not seem large and is likely to be exceeded. My forecast — sell in the range of 15-20 thousand euros, and it will be good pokupkoy@

Can negotiable to go higher? Unlikely, but here mathematics ends and there are different driving forces that are alien to the cold raschet@
