Customer Comments: Since I receive many emails after an
auction commenting on the auction and/or my skills calling and hosting an
auction, I thought I would include some of the comments here. Have
something to say? I am fair and even if it is something bad (hopefully
meant as a suggested comment to make Outer Cape Auctions the best art auction
house around), I will post your comments here. Thanks, Terry

February 18th Auction comments:
From Wendy- buyer in past auctions
"Thank you once again for organizing a
great auction! I went home with
the painting I wanted (Lot 18 'Untitled Nude Portrait' by Vollian Burr
Rann). I'm the Greta Allen 'collector' and the V.B. Rann painting fits
in well with the Greta Allen portraits from the 1920s.
You really know how to put together an exciting auction! You
are the
best auctioneer I have ever come across; witty, with your own unique
flair and panache. In the fall, I went to another auction in Hyannis,
which was much more typical: grim, funereal and horrendously boring.
The only reason I went to that auction was because there were three
unframed Greta Allen portraits and no one wanted them, so we got a very
good price on all of them. My husband is good at matting and framing.
Now that those watercolors are properly framed, they are quite
beautiful. I like to look for special finds that most people overlook.
Thanks again! You made my day yesterday, complete with a
meal at
Clem's."
From David, consignor in several auctions
"I really enjoyed attending my first OCA auction tonight! You run a very
professional (and entertaining) show and I learned quite a lot that should help
me select works for future auctions.
The sales results for my works exceeded my expectations
substantially (and thanks for getting the Beneker monkey off my back...).
I don't think I'll have enough paintings for the March
auction but I'll definitely be ready for the next one."
From another David- first time buyer
"Dear Terry, I was a first timer to your auctions, so had some
apprehensions
about it. But you had conducted a spectacular auction and I was thoroughly
satisfied with the outcome, the two finest Doug Marr paintings. They are great.
Your packing was also outstanding, came in good shape. Thanks Terry once again."
