Shy progress has been observed in recent years, particularly on the website, which now features photos of the sale items (in 2012, it was time!).
But the organization remains dusty. Shipping and packaging are to be reviewed. The rooms are too small.
More serious, the practices of the auctioneers are sometimes at the limit of the correction, with unannounced defects, or the hammer which is slow to fall when the auction goes up little. Who controls these people?
Beside these indelicacies, their distressing inability to make the connections when they announce the auctions ("twenty Teuros but eighty Zeuros") is only a detail.
