Auctions are always a bit fascinating, and for good reason: the pieces up for grabs are as rare as they are expensive. Recently, a dinner menu from Titanic was sold for the modest sum of 95,000 euros. Thursday, a board ofAsterix and another of Tintin will be auctioned at the Daniel Maghen house in Paris. On the same day, legendary guitars from Kurt Cobain and Eric Clapton will be offered in Nashville, USA.
But this method of sale does not only concern large collector’s items: you can also buy everyday objects such as drawings, furniture, jewelry, real estate in more or less good condition, etc. The auctions are open to both individuals and professionals, so everyone can take part.
And you, have you ever bought things at auction? Are you going there with a specific objective or out of simple curiosity? How much have you already paid? Do you set limits for yourself so as not to spend too much? Is there a moment that particularly stood out to you during a sale? What would you dream of buying? Is there a piece that you particularly want? Tell us, your answers could be used to write an article. THANKS.
