I'm new around here, and have a question or two....

Is the primary plan to hold auctions for horses and agricultural equipment (in an "e-Bay fashion)?

The reason for my question is that e-Bay typically auctions non-perishable goods (tv's, vcr's, computers, jewelry, etc...). Can we expect a large customer base which will bid on "live" items (livestock)? Or am I missing the intent of what they will do? Usually, those buying horses, even at auctions, like to inspect the "goods" and sometimes have them personally inspected.

This seems like a novel idea, but I'm questioning the manner in which livestock is commonly bought & sold. The health of the animals is of primary concern, and can one judge this remotely? Or again, have I missed something?
