What is a Live Webcast Auction?
Some of our auctions will be listed as a webcast auction. In most cases this means that there is traditional auction happening but if you can’t attend you can bid along from the comfort of your own office or home via a Live Webcast System from our internet site or use the system to make bids for you.
An auction that is capable of streaming live audio and video to internet bidders allowing them to place bids simultaneously as the actual live auction takes place. Internet bidders are given the opportunity to bid remotely against their peers who are bidding on the same items on-site at the auction. The auctioneer has the ability to accept bids live from the internet and on-site bidders during the entire live auction. Internet bidders get the full on-site bidding experience from the comfort of their home or office. What Are the Browser Requirements?
