Massive partner to expand online auctions with. Good for sellers to I would imagine. Would think this will be a real worry for the rest of the market. Be interesting to see how this platform develops both the good and the bad.

Fair play though, but does this mean when we are in the saleroom we will have to wait even more painfully for the hammer to come down as the geriatric auctioneer with a wonky eye has to wait for afteroom bids from Ebay now along with Saleroom / Bidder and the usual ATG sites?.
Sounds fun.

Though Ebay has its own army of keyboard scobbers raking in shite from other gonks to flog for fk all profit at carboots because they watched Shite in your Attic once, I cant see those fat donut munching crunts bidding on Picasso's.

They had hundreds of negative feedbacks if I remember correctly.

But that was a long time ago

Think they have been playing around and looking for something that neither of them has found and yet the online market for big auction houses has grown massively. Look how many of us watch online auctions these days and sites such as the Saleroom etc. Auction houses have always had tel bidding so online works well for them.
So will be interesting if corporate ego's are left aside and they can push it forward. They will not make comfortable bed fellows though Sotherby's with it's high end heritage and ebay with it's just flog it attitude. However if they sort it....it could be quite a major step and change for the market. If they can actually get it together I have a feeling they just might due to knowing the fact that others are already taking slices
