Online Bidding Takes Hold at Christie's

February 25, 2010 by Marion Maneker

The Maine Antique Digest reports that online bidding continues to make progress at Christie’s where 11% of the January Americana sale buyers did their bidding on Christie’s Live service:

The fact that the crowd was smaller than usual was due in part to Christie’s Live, which offers on-line bidding together with streaming video of the auction at no cost to the bidder. Collectors can bid from their offices or laptops. There was a considerable amount of on-line bidding; of the 208 buyers, 23 bought on line, and they were also strong underbidders. If the purchase price is less than and up to $50,000, buyers can pay by credit card. Auctioneers must do everything to make it easy for buyers these days
