Ableauctions' subsidiary iCollector has partnered with GoAntiques to broadcast their auctions via eBay Live Auctions. GoAntiques is an online antique mall that allows dealers to list items on eBay Live Auctions under the GoAntiques Live Auctions name (User ID GoAntiquesLive). iCollector.com provides live online auction technology and services to galleries and industrial auction houses.
Jim Kamnikar, President and CEO of GoAntiques, said, ""GoAntiques' focus is to provide the highest level of visibility to the art, antiques and collectibles dealers who sell merchandise through our services. We chose iCollector to assist us in this continuing effort, as we find iCollector to be the perfect partner for providing us increased exposure for our Live Auctions."
eBay Live Auctions is a way for auction houses to broadcast "real life" auctions in real time to expand bidding through the Internet. Auction houses can also hold auctions on eBay Live Auctions without having an offline auction taking place. The fee structure on eBay Live Auctions is different, and buyers of items on Live Auctions pay a buyer's premium, which they do not pay when buying on the main eBay.com platform.
