Im März 2004 führte Christies in London die Auktion British and Victorian including Scottish Paintings durch, in der auch die Arbeit Swaffham, Norfolk von Harry John Johnstone zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 956,00 (€ 1.431,04) und damit 59% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Harry John Johnstone auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Gathering clams im September 2001 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 6.462,50 (€ 10.434,18).
