On Thursday, September 27, in Moscow, the regular auction auction house account "Old and rare books, maps, prints».

Auction safely be considered successful : of the 459 submitted (excluding delisted from lot 348) sold 34%of lots for a total of 12.617 million rubles.

worth noting that the auction started later announced five hours. Although people began to gather as early as 16:45, the start of trading was given almost an hour later.

in the hall there were about twenty people - dealers, collectors of books (the last is clearly planned and get to the second book auction of the day - the "House of antique books in Nikitsky»).

this time showed the most active members on the phone - and they were the main buyers. Absentee rates was surprisingly small - about 10%. Hall is pleased mostly interesting assessment of lots traded by the book-collectors (that's this - a good book to go, but this is not that uncommon).

highest price pm - 750,000 rubles (lower estimate) - paid telephone buyer for "Collection of information about the Caucasian mountaineers ..." (lot 109).

more records auction did not bring (the majority of lots on the lower left estimate), but would like to mention the fight for some of the individual items.

Interested buyers caused the name of David Burliuk - items associated with it bargained long and hard.

So, the book "David Burliuk. Biography and Poems "(lot 367) went for $ 130 000 at the start of 65 000 after a stubborn fight to the buyer on the phone. And the long bargaining, however, the steps of 100-200 rubles, took 369 for the lot - "Burliuk. Novels ": from the start in 1500 rubles, the players got to eight and a half thousand. Won, it is expected for this evening, the phone.

«Golden Calf" by Ilf and Petrov 1931 edition (lot 418), which have been fighting for three phones at once, went for the price, almost three times the start, - 110 000.

unexpectedly enthusiastic hall called the poster "To have an icon TRP - a matter of honor of every worker" (lot 432). With a starting price of 18 000 rubles, poster after hard bargaining went for 90,000 customer on the phone.

At the end of the evening the audience cheered photo Vivien Leigh, she inscribed Olga Alexander (lot 449). Members - two phones and a hall, not wanting to give in to each other, raised the price from 15 000 to 47 000. No wonder, someone in the audience reacted - still beautiful woman!

In general I would like to note that, despite its length - the last lot was sold for about half of the eighth, the auction ended on a high note. People spend a little tired, but happy.

«Kabinet" provides opportunities to potential buyers: this auction could come with any money - and have lots of 1800 and $ 700 000 and, as is typical, many have found a buyer.
