Starting this fall on a mobile device or computer near you, you will be able to participate in a Sotheby auction being held anywhere in the world, live! eBay has announced that they will launch a a new online experience tailored for collectors of rare art and collectibles. In 2002 a similar attempt was made but the venture failed. Sotheby’s often criticized for its sluggish move towards utilizing technology will now have access to the 145 million eBay users. Imagine, a one stop destination where you can pick up a used power supply for a 10 year Gateway Laptop and simultaneously participate in bidding on a portrait of Guru Gobind Singh-Ji for $260,000. Caution to multi taskers with quick fingers, one accidental click may make you the owner of a Picasso instead of the retro Pez dispenser you were trying to buy!
