BOSTON – A report in today’s Boston Globe includes interviews with several LiveAuctioneers.com auction-house clients, in which they discuss the importance Internet live bidding has made to their sales.

In the article, Tonya A. Cameron of Wakefield-based TAC Auctions Inc. tells Boston Globe reporter Taryn Plumb that as Internet bidding continues to grow, she expects fewer buyers will actually be present at the auctions.

“We used to have more live bodies in the house,” says Cameron, who specializes in estates and rose to national prominence with the Aug. 11, 2011 auction of selections from the estate of wrestling legend Walter “Killer” Kowalski.

“In five years, you’re going to see that a lot of auctions will be really ghostly. We won’t have very many in-house buyers,” Cameron predicts.
