Unlike other auction sites, with Indy, you have the option to choose whether to disclose the auction results to the public or keep them hidden. There are advantages and disadvantages to sharing the auction results openly.
On the one hand, it encourages price transparency and ensures that the auction experience remains fair and inclusive to all. A successful auction can enhance the reputation of a seller such as positively impacting on an artist’s market if the final price is above the high estimate for the lot.
Alternatively, choosing not to disclose the auction results can protect the seller's reputation in case a lot fails to sell. This approach is particularly beneficial for charity auctions, as it prevents potential embarrassment for the donor if a lot underperforms.
