Perhaps it has something to do with the disappoint results in recent auction(s) over at another auction house.
I heard - but cannot confirm - that lawsuits against the auction house were discussed.
High estimates certainly attract a seller to your auction house, with great disappointment when they are not reached in the actual auction...
Besides, lower prices drive traffic.
