Im November 2021 führte Sothebys in London die Auktion Scottish Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit The Fruit Bowl von William Crosbie zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 2.268,00 (€ 2.662,85) und damit 51% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von William Crosbie auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Universal Female im Mai 2014 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 17.500,00 (€ 21.508,06).
