Scott,

Didn't you get your license through the state you reside/operate in? I don't believe there's a federal law for licensing auctioneers so, is it possible for the auction house rules to vary from state to state and, if so, can the rule regarding auction house reserves also vary by state?

I've been to live auctions run by licensed auctioneers that are also being simulcast on the internet and open to on-line, real-time bidding. I assume the auctioneers in those instances comply with laws for the state they are in but, what impact/effect is there from being on the internet and also electronically running an auction virtually in every state on-line? Is it also possible that some states may have auctioneer rules that are more favorable to the auction house than others? Intersting topic nonetheless.
