I'm not sure how NY requires things.
Apparently they have the online bids available on one computer and someone bids on behalf of the online bidders. And the winning bids and bidders are tracked on a different machine.
All the local places I've been to (Mass) do things the same way, but with the addition of a hardcopy listing of the online and left bids, and another hardcopy of the winning bids. Even the antique auction that didn't appear to have lot numbers, but "lot" numbers that I think were numbered consigner Ids. I think they also recorded the auctioneer in the event there was a problem with an item or with how it was described.
