I do a little over 100/hour live, and there are guys who are faster. Even 100 lots per hour (which I don't believe an actual simulcast could possibly do, but maybe a "live" internet auction can) is 30+ hours for a major auction. That's a lot of pay because you have to have people watching at all times.
Also one of the biggest auction platforms out there, with more users than liveauctioneers, crashed AGAIN this week, completely screwing auctioneers who had auctions ending. So the amount of people using a service isn't relevant to me. I'm not casting aspersions on liveauctioneers, it's just when you aren't in control of what runs your business it's a scary feeling.
