Heritage Sunday Auctions have live bidding format. There is still very little interaction though. Combining that platform with a video feed could be interesting.

A video feed live format auction at a set time. Maybe biweekly or monthly. Only take in X amount of lots. I seriously think I can get the % to a solid 10 across the board no matter the hammer price. Fair and transparent deals in a real time format. Small picture preview of consignments.

I think high detail photos would still be needed. Video doesn't always work to pick up things. The high detail images for zooming in the Heritage auctions is always nice.

Just one person's opinion, but it seems like the market is saturated with AHs. If the amount of good material to sell stays relatively constant, I don't know if the market can sustain this many AHs. There will likely be some winners and losers, but I just don't see how 10-15 players offering a similar product can sustain success in the long term.
That said, maybe a significantly different approach as you suggest could disrupt things, but you still have to fight to get the material that will pay for your labor, overhead, advertising, etc. |

Honestly, I love this idea. I would definitely be a participant! We had an auction house about ten minutes from my house close down a couple of years ago because the owner was retiring. I looked forward to it every week. I typically don't pay a ton of attention to the current auction houses because I usually forget about them once the time comes... Plus, this just seems a lot more fun!

AH
I agree that there are too many houses right now. The ones that run until 6 AM do a disservice to the Hobby and have to go. Live auctions via the net with reasonable hours would be great.
