Again?

Hope it works smoother than the last time.

There has already been a major announcement about live auctions run by Sotheby's.... as noted o eBay.com a few months ago

High priced... over $5,000.... in value per item.

They tried it many years ago ... but that died ..... perhaps too high priced  at over $10,000 per item....

-----------------------------------

Other live auctions... lower priced 

Imagine having sold  100 items... and then having to mail all very quickly.

Local live auctions  do have an opportunity to have internet bidding.... However,  not quite like what would occur on eBay...

Nothing really new.

eBay used to run live auctions about ten years ago.

Did not work out too well.
