Christie's and Sotheby's Videos

As video becomes easier to stream, both Sotheby's and Christie's have been taking advantage of the technology and are posting both pre and post sale videos. As I have mentioned in past post here on the Appraisers Post blog and other online sites, it is important to coordinate all online media.  This includes websites, blogs, videos, phone apps and social media such as Facebook.  It appears that both Sotheby's and Christie's are embracing and using the new technology to promote interest and sales.  Dealers, auctioneers and appraisers should take note.
