Found myself becoming annoyed with the old woman too. Almost hoped it didn't do well at auction and she made a gross loss after the commission was paid out.
What these jewelry sellers don't understand is, the auction if filled with collectors and dealers. If a customer is a jewelry person and knows diamonds and gold weight, they can always afford to pay that...little bit more on the auction price, the dealer has a limit. If I went to an auction I would always be carrying a jeweler's loupe with me for more than just jewelry, spotting hairline cracks in pottery etc
I`d be a bit pissed off with her with the bronze pot, you dont say another 50 quid and when offered take it to auction ????

Ordinary English folks are not very keen on nice jewelry
