ep82 What is iCollector.com?

On this episode of the Auctionwally show, I interviewed Thorsten Bonn, CEO of iCollector.com. Icollector is an online portal and gallery for live auction houses which hold catalog auctions. 

The site has found that combining the strength of many auction houses into one aggregated feed, brings one heck of a lot of bidders to the pool, serious bidders that know what they’re looking for.

ICollector has been around since 1996, but in this current format since 1999. The website works with Auctioneers to customize their iCollector pages and persona.

What I found especially interesting is that once a customer makes comes in through iCollector to place a bid on a item, the entire rest of the transaction is between the bidder and the auction house.

There are also some other great tools at iCollector.com such as it’s past auction “prices realized” search among other things.

The company has had some pretty high profile auction houses and is always looking to add more.

There’s one more thing I want to point out, then, I’ll give it up and let you listen to the interiew for yourself.

That is, that the site does all this collectively in a way that’s easy to use.
