About minimum-guarantee assessment
A minimum guarantee is given by a buyer. Works with Pack S can apply: Market Operations presents the work to matching buyers. When a buyer confirms a guarantee in writing, the title page shows “Buyer-backed MG”; otherwise the result is reported as it is and the work continues to sell in the catalogue.
