These are the prime examples of bad faith in bargaining: 1. "Well the ring is a style that only a few people would want-I can't buy something like this -I'd have a hard time selling it.

I am very pleased that he has consistently achieved very satisfying and profitable results. He is the most professional and trustworthy person I have come across in the art and antiques world. He is very knowledgeable about the items but also about how the markets work and how to be successful with them. He is great at research & I benefit from his long standing relationships with other experts. He has sold literally hundreds of my items a broad range of antiques, paintings, jewelry, silver, unusual objects, you name it. I'm really glad that I've ended up with much greater prices for my things than if I had just gone to auction houses or dealers myself. Working with him gets my things the special attention that they would not get otherwise, and which gets me better sales! RecentIy I had a rug that an auction told me would bring around $500. He got $6000! He's the best. Highly recommend!
