Tell you this. It wouldn't have happened to the German Christie's  ;D

10 years ago I would have agreed to that. Nowadays not too sure...  ::)

Buyer's premium is just 26 percent of the sale price. Maybe they sold themselves short and don't have the funds to get the technical stuff right.

Do these technical issues make us victims of industrial disease?
