Sample interview questions
I would review authenticity indicators, condition, rarity, provenance, catalogue references, image quality, and expected buyer demand. I would then compare the lot with recent market results and ensure the listing gives bidders transparent, accurate information.
I would identify and catalogue the material as far as possible, assess condition and completeness, compare it with relevant realised auction results, and apply a cautious estimate that reflects uncertainty. I would also ask the seller for provenance or additional images where these could materially affect value.
I would communicate promptly and respectfully, explain the relevant quality, condition, or market-demand criteria, and avoid vague feedback. Where appropriate, I would suggest what evidence, presentation improvements, or alternative items could make a future submission stronger.
I would create a balanced selection across price points, collecting themes, countries, and periods while prioritizing quality and buyer relevance. I would use market trends, bidder behaviour, and my professional network to secure distinctive lots and avoid an overly repetitive catalogue.
I would share insights on desirable seller segments, high-demand themes, and gaps in current supply with Sales. With Marketing, I would help identify notable lots and collector stories that can improve visibility, bidder engagement, and confidence in the auction selection.
