Ventriloquist Figure Collection Auction Questions
Here is a quick update on some points I have been asked. In a private auction house there is always what is called a buyers premium. That is a percentage that the auction house ads to the final hammer price.
Most auction houses today charge between 20% and 25% on top of the final hammer price. Crown Auctions is one of the very few left that only charges 10% buyers premium.
Ventriloquist Roy Langer
We received the following email this week:
I wanted to write and let you know that my dad, Roy Langer, passed away August 28, 2015. He was the winner of Paul Winchell’s “Best Young Ventriloquist in America” in 1952 and Edgar Bergan’s “Best Kid Ventriloquist in NY”. He went on to co-host The Horn and Hardart Children’s hour on NBC for 12 years. He continued using ventriloquism in his profession as a speech and media consultant.
