Guyette & Deeter February Bird Decoy Auction Highlights.
The sale was within estimate, at $610,000.
Of the 280 lots offered, with six lots selling for over $10,000, only 5 lots failed to sell resulting in a sell through rate of better than 98 percent.
Gary Guyette and Jon Deeter attribute the success to extensive promotion, guaranteed condition reports, and a buyer’s premium that is still 15 percent.
The catalog for this sale is still available for $20.
The sale will feature decoys from the collection of Peter Brown, the most extensive known collection of Canadian decoys.
The consignment deadline for this sale is March 3, or until full.
