An auction catalog is a catalog that lists items to be sold at an auction which is written and made available well before the auction date. Auction catalogs for rare and expensive items, such as art, jewelry, postage stamps, and antique furniture, are of interest in and of themselves, for they will frequently include detailed descriptions of the items, their provenance, historical significance, photographs, and so forth. In some cases, auction catalogs are key documentation for rare objects that are in private collections, and make up an important part of the libraries of students and dealers of the rarities. Each entry typically includes a "lot number" identifying each item uniquely, a detailed textual description, and either an estimated price, or a "reserve" price below which the item will not be sold. Photographs may appear with the entry, or grouped into a separate section of the catalog; for mass-produced items like postage stamps, the textual description may be considered sufficient. As a combined information source and "sales brochure", an auction catalog must tread a fine line between accuracy and promotion. For instance, any damages or flaws must be described exactly, so that buyers cannot be claim to have been deceived, but at the same time the description will typically include words playing down the bad points (as in "brownish spot that does not detract from appearance" or "faint crease, as is common"). Similarly, special characteristics are also called out, such as "one of only four known examples of this type", or perhaps a photograph of an item of jewelry being worn by a famous person. Auction catalogs may be sent gratis to favored customers, but the better catalogs will cost, sometimes as much or more than a regular book. These kinds of catalogs may in turn be sold by bookstores, or even appear as items in book auctions. Some time after the auction is concluded, recipients of the auction catalogs will receive a "prices realized" document, a bare listing of the lot numbers and the prices for which each was sold.

GNU Free Documentation License MJ Fans: Have you ever heard of MJ and LMP having a traditional wedding with guests? Q. I was browsing the Michael Jackson section of the online catalog for the big Music Icons auction that is taking place this Saturday in NYC. I came across: Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Wedding Souvenir Chocolate Bar - this was apparently given to guests as wedding favors. Since when did Michael and Lisa Marie have a traditional wedding with guests? Of course, we all know they were secretly married in the Dominican Republic in a ceremony that just included the two of them. But I have never heard anything about a second wedding celebration with guests taking place after the fact. Have you? I was surprised to see this item. Please fellow MJ fans, enlighten me!

If you find a sort of specialty toy shop you can usuallly find tiny globes, chairs, doors, books etc, but for some of the stuff like carpets, stone finishing, door knobs you may need to get creative. For carpeting you could probably cut up a nice wash-cloth, if you've got some artsy skills try painting faux stone. Wall paper could be made using a nice wrapping paper and tiny candle sticks could be toothpicks cut in half and painted white. Again, a lot of this depends on size but you get the idea! little bits of brass jewelry can serve… [cont.] Answered by magnolia9 - Sat Nov 4 17:36:49 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Auction catalog"
