Bonhams — Local services in Los Angeles

It seemed all was good, when I asked for an extension. They nicely accepted the first $1000, then started, on and on, threatening what they would, to get the rest, or another $1000, before they could.

Then they got mean, like a thug trying to collect from another neighborhood, badgering a client, who has nothing for him, furious, barking that I should.

The variety of Mr. Romero's threats in mind, I wasn't going to hand over another dime, unless making payment in full, and only upon pick up, in person, to make sure, I was not made the fool.

We have been here a few times for the previews and auctions. It is like going to a museum and being able to touch the exhibits, and then take it home if you win the auction. The previews are usually Saturday and Sunday in the afternoon. The auction is the next day or two. If you see something you want to bid on, be sure to register on the preview day or online as it is less busy than the morning of the auction. Also, they have phone and online bidding. If you are there for the bidding, they do provide nice morning and afternoon snacks. It is a lot of fun and free, unless you win the bid at which point it becomes fantastic.
