Like I said, I'm still working this out. But eventually, and naturally (at
least how I am seeing it now), I envision several regional operational
centers throughout the US in which to receive large collections and process
them.
Most inheritors, and even owners, of collections would probably be willing

Right, typical.
I'm interested in this, but..
- How would they be compensated?
presumably by some sort of percentage commission, such as done by art
brokers, real estate agents, etc.
- How would it
be ensured that they didn't have a conflict of
interest, or bias, (or an actual interest in the collection)?
There may be occasional ethics issues. If it is composed of multiple
"agents", then an agent who has personal lust for part of the collection
should have to recuse themselves? If it is a single entity, then they
should openly negotiate with the owners. How is that currently handled in
art and real estate?
I trust Sellam, at least with that stuff; those who do not will have to
find other venues.
- How much would such a service cost, or be
priced?
THAT's a tough one, and it is likely to go up or down, as things develop.
And in fact, it might be necessary to have that be a function of how
difficult it will be to move the stuff.
to accept fairly substantial commission percentages.
There will probably
even be more than a few who will effectively say, "I don't care! If you
remove ALL of it, we'lll be happy!"
I'm for it.
Wanna do a test run with a truckload of my crap^h^h^h^h treasures?
Not until after you die, but I expect you to outlive me at this point. So
hopefully the organization will be up and running before all that.
That being said, don't die, Fred. I like you better alive.
