Can Old Masters be Sold on the Internet? by Raichel le Goff Sotheby's cannot and does not undertake full due diligence on every item sold." They say the onus is on the buyer to do his own research and be satisfied prior to purchasing. All this means that Sothebys will have to be extremely selective if they ever place old master paintings, drawings and prints on the internet for auction if they are going to stick to their promise of guaranteeing authenticity. Sothebys originated in London in 1744 and is still largely thought of as a British company. epublishingcorp.com /articlesraichel/Art-Market/sothebys.htm   (753 words)

SOTHEBYS.COM GOES ONLINE by Raichel le Goff Sotheby's re-designed website offering online auctions was launched Tuesday evening (11.01.00) from their plush New York headquarters. Under a special channel entitled "Sotheby's Connoisseur: The Art of Collecting" didactic guides inform the clickers 'how to collect antique silver' and their 'insider's guide to collecting Old Masters' is a daring attempt to initiate the innocent into the most fickle and problematic sector of the auction world. Whereas Sotheby's would photograph every lot themselves that goes into a printed catalogue for a regular sale, it would seem that the webmaster is scanning poor quality images submitted by the owners, wonky frames and all. epublishingcorp.com /articlesRaichel/Art-Market/Sothebys2000.htm   (570 words)

eBay opens bidding on Sothebys.com | CNET News.com Sotheby's teamed with eBay rival Amazon.com in 1999 to create a co-branded auction site, but the partners closed that site one year later and subsequently shortened their original 10-year deal.

Sotheby's itself will primarily offer on the site lower-value collectibles and items that appeal to a mass audience, such as the copy of the Declaration of Independence that the company sold on its site two years ago, Redden said. news.com.com /2100-1017-936900.html?legacy=cnet   (630 words)
