AntiqueWeek Debuts New Live Online Auction Site
Friday, February 06, 2009
From AuctionBytes:
AntiqueWeek announced the launch of its an online auction site, AntiqueWeek Live Auctions, following the recent closure of eBay Live Auctions. The new venture is a joint partnership comprised of ATG Media, AntiqueWeek and RemoteBidder.com. Currently only licensed auctioneers can sell items on the site, and the auctions will be advertised to more than 100,000 people who are interested in antiques and collectibles.
Tony Gregory, publisher of AntiqueWeek, said "AntiqueWeek Live Auctions brings together three of the major players of the industry. ATG Media developed the already proven software; RemoteBidder.com is bringing in the customer service, they have been facilitating live sales for 10 years now; and AntiqueWeek brings its experience in the antiques industry, its knowledge and tradition."
AntiqueWeek Live Auctions will offer all the antiques and collectibles auctions, while its partner, RemoteBidder.com will facilitate general auctions. Licensed auctioneers will be able to upload their entire catalog and offer live Internet bidding complete with audio and, coming soon, video. Other options will be uploading just the catalog and accepting absentee bids or uploading a few choice items and offering them via an eBay style bidding process of seven to 10-day auctions.
