The directory turned out impressive — 450 lots. Special emphasis was placed on the lots, Museum quality. Despite such an impressive catalog, trades were not all that long, especially when compared with the auction held on the eve: the event began at 19 hours and ended at 22 with a small tail. Personally look at what is happening came a dozen people, and about 50 participated in the auction via the Network.

But hall, phone and absentee bids were very near each other: in the hall took 56 lots (21.7 percent), and the remaining two were made for 37 of every purchase (that is on the phone and absentee bids have 14,3 %).

in addition, the top-10 finally-то includes all categories of bidders, beautifully fit into an arithmetic progression in increments of unit: the most distinguished members on the phone, grab the four most expensive of the lot, three purchases went to the hall, two — the Internet and one — absentee rate.

a highlight of the program was the first edition of Pushkin's "Boris Godunov", published in St.-Петербурге in 1831. The book appeared in the preliminary top-10 at number five, but the opposition of several phones and absentee bids made her the first in the entire auction. The auction began with absentee rate of 550 thousand and ended with the victory of one of the phones offered for the lot 900 thousand rubles.

the Second was the lot that included dated 1938 copy of the article of Marina Tsvetaeva, "Art in the light of conscience," with numerous edits and marginalia of the author and two of the magazine "Modern notes" (No. 50 of 1932 and No. 51 of 1933), which saw the first publication of the article. The lot was estimated at 800-850 million, at the upper bound estimate it was sold to the hall that went around the Internet-ставку 800 thousand rubles. And not surprising: sheets with Tsvetayeva's edits has headed a rating of the most viewed auction lots; also lots associated with poet, often on top of various rankings of the "literary Fund".

the Third was an album of types of the Ural Mining railway Scherer, Nabgolts and K°, published in Moscow in 1880-е years and consists of 95 photographs, multiple stained watercolor. This unique monument of the era attractedattention before bidding (was seventh in the ranking of viewed lots), so fought for it on the Internet and the phone. In the end, won the last of that lot went to over 775 thousand rubles (estimate 650-700 thousand rubles.).

Leader in the ranking of the price increase (difference between estimate and sale price) was another first instance. This time it was the first edition of the fairy tale "the Golden key, or adventures of Buratino" by Alexei Tolstoy, published in 1936, and marked with the author's inscription to L. V. Shaporina. Book decorated with illustrations of Bronislaw Bronislavovich malachowski, while the estimate of 5-5,5 thousand, became the subject of a short but hard struggle in the Network: the auction began with a rate of 80 million and ended with a rate of 100 thousand rubles, the Price in 19 times exceeded the average estimate.

In General, the auction was held fairly vigorously, the activity was uniform up until the very end, but in the middle of bargaining had a slight emergency stop. During the drawing of the first Soviet edition of the 1926 works of Rudyard Kipling "Mowgli" with drawings by Basil aleckseievich Vatagina in bargaining was to include telephone party. Short said the phone line "Hello, Mowgli, 15 thousand give?" for some time, paralyzed bids, causing a nearly uncontrollable delight of all present. Mowgli refused to give 15 thousand, so the lot went online-игроку for 14 thousand rubles. hopefully he will bring as much joy.
