the Main event of the evening, of course, were the sale of two lots associated with the name AE twisted: "playbook for country and club scene" (lot 361), issued by Moscow theatrical publishing house in 1927 and contains two pieces of Alexey Yeliseyevich, and the penultimate lifetime book by A. Kruchenykh "the book of Boris Pasternak in 20 years. Products No. 235" (lot 373), issued as a manuscript (publication made by stilografica with handwritten text) in an edition of 100 copies in Moscow in 1933 godu@

On "playbook for country and club scene", the auction began with a modest $ 10,000, there are only two contenders — phone and in the party room. As they say, for further developments there were no signs. What is happening goes beyond the usual drawing of lots, it became clear, when the stakes for the book ready, without a pause, the tempo reached 100, 200 and then 300 000 rubles. Starting with 400 000 participants went cautious, half a step, pausing for phone calls and clarify the details of the transaction over the phone. In the end, the draw of lot, which lasted about 10 long, full of tension and adrenaline minutes, ended in victory for the telephone party, slominskiego the hall resistance rate of 850 000 rubley@

When after a few minutes it came to "Books by Boris Pasternak, for 20 years" and the fight was entered by the same two participants, the room already knew what was waiting for us a surprisingly interesting fight. And so it happened. With 50, 000 start they quickly got to the numbers 500, 000, and then went on a half step. By the time the bets on the lot exceeded a million rubles, the pauses between steps were delayed, because both candidates took extra time to think. And here occurred a strange case: the representative of the buyer on the phone, quite a long time discussing with his client the possibility of the next bet, suddenly in a rather abrupt and even a few ultimatum beginning to require the auctioneer hitting the hammer right now, without waiting for the final decision of the opponent. Discouraging such behavior may have played a role — and party in the hall did not continue bargaining, giving victory to the phone that received the lot for 1 200 000 rubley@

Results in sections as follows. The most financially successful was the string of publications that are useful in everyday life, which has sold 8 of the 11 lots, and the total income amounted to about 270 000 rubles, or 168,03 % of the average estimate razdel@

In third place on the money @. section publications on the history, military and civil, in which for the sum of 1 047 600 rubles were sold 62,75 % (32 of 51) lots. This string opened the auction and remembered several tense rallies in the lower and middle price segment. So, a real duel between the Internet and the phone played out the book "Who were the Russian Freemasons and what goals they were pursuing" (1900-е) Baron A. Von-Криденера (lot 22): trading began with 5 000 rubles, and ended on a rate of 95 000 rubles, proposed by the buyer on the phone. Another protracted dispute, this time between the party room and online-игроком, turned over the possession of a richly illustrated six-volume jubilee edition of "Three centuries. Russia from Distemper to our time" (lot 36) on 300-летию of the Romanov dynasty. Starting from 90 000 rubles, and lot went to the party room for 165 000 rubley@

In General this time any failures of consumer activity or long pauses associated with, for example, replay lots. Moreover, last Thursday was not a single drawing, in which like part-time rate was the second number, after the step Internet-игрока. It is obvious that "Nikita" finally came to an understanding with Internet-покупателями, and all the misunderstandings remained in proshlom@
