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. 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. Most inheritors, and even owners, of collections would probably be willing 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.
