All the smart auction houses have a strong and easy to use on line presence. It just makes sense. Make it easy for people from all over the World to bid on you stuff, in real time. I watched the last Holt's Auction in real time and was able to raise my pre auction bid prices on several items.

One county I have a farm in hold all their back tax sales and sale of county stuff on line now. They no longer do it on the step of the Court House like they did fifty years ago. So even a sleepy back water county has gotten into the internet auction business.

I had a friend who just passed last week who was an Auctioneer and he told me almost all of his auctions had gone on line. He might be on sight or do it from his auction office. Most foreclosures were sold from his office on the internet. Times change for everything.
