Here are some details from the Morgan report, unfortunately I do not have an electronic copy, and haven't figured out Bloomberg email yet. Basically: 1) They think BID will be the major threat to the online auction sites. 2) BID's brand is very strong and will be leveraged heavily as BID moves online. 3) BID is very well-respected in the art world and has many long-standing relationships with dealers and galleries which will be very helpful as they move online. 4) BID has a very strong reputation for providing excellent client service, something the e-auctioners have't really figured out. Best of luck, geoff
