On-line auctions



Greetings from Doylestown, PA!
I know that this has likely been tossed about, but I am wondering if any
historical societies who are using on-line auctions for deaccessioned items
could contact me off list.

According to our institutional guidelines, any items we wish to
*sell*--other than to another cultural institution--must be done at a public
sale. Methinks an on-line auction would enable us to get better prices than
our local auction house.

I need to *present* this on-line auction idea to our Collections Committee
in October.  Any thoughts as to why this would or would not be a good idea
are welcome.

Many thanks!
