Rare sword auction nets sharp Canadian collector $380,000
not quite as predicted but still,
what to do with your collection when you know you are not going to live forever.....
The estimate was that the collection would sell for $500,000, and it sounds like the seller netted $380,000 after the auction house selling commission, which normally runs 15 to 20 percent.
that was only for the first half of the auction. the 2nd half is yet to come.
