For Local Appraisal Companies, the Web is Big Business

SBJ Staff Report

11/23/2009 – On a Thursday night in early November, some of Savannah’s leading couples enjoyed wine and cheese at an auction preview party hosted by Everard & Company, one of the Savannah and the South Carolina Lowcountry’s antiques and auction companies.

But there was no auctioneer standing on a stage, hammering a gavel or yelling, “Sold!”  Instead, bidders were looking over items before the auction company’s online auction of antiques and art from the estate of Ron Strahan of Savannah was set to begin. The auction also featured items from other local sellers, assembled by the firm.
