Taking advantage of this wonderful interview I did with Victoria Gomelsky for Robb Report, to share a few key points about EveryWatch. Victoria pictured it very well by saying: "The EveryWatch database covers more than a million pre-owned watches with a minimum value of $300. It tracks more than 260 marketplaces and dealers around the watch world, from big resellers such as the The 1916 Company (WatchBox) and Watchfinder to high-end specialists including S. Song in Kuala Lumpur and A Collected Man in London. Its database of information on watch auction sales—totaling more than 350 auction houses globally—goes back to 1989 and includes historical, current, and upcoming sale information with prices, sale listings, and dealer information. The A.I. steps in to help eliminate anomalously high results (often generated at charity auctions) that would otherwise skew the data." #EveryWatch #Luxury #Watch #Industry #Data

Giovanni Prigigallo thinks it’s time for the watch auction market to embrace artificial intelligence. Prigigallo has always been fond of watches, especially Rolex, and he even inherited a few from both of his grandfathers. In Italy, especially the island of Sardinia where he was raised, Prigigallo says there’s a strong cultural affinity for fancy timepieces. “Anyone that has made a bit of money and has a good career has at least one good watch,” says Prigigallo. But watch collectors like Prigigallo face a complex market without a centralized source of pricing data. “Sometimes you’re completely clueless of the actual value of the watch,” says Prigigallo. “And you might think it’s a beautiful watch, but don’t know anything about the watch, just that it looks beautiful. And you’re going to pay a staggering price.” As a result, he cofounded EveryWatch, which uses AI to digest data from the sale of around 400,000 watches from auctions and dealers as far back as 1989.

3 Reasons why Live Auctions are a great tool to drive up conversions:  Live auctions aren’t just for antique shops and art galleries anymore! Top consumer brands are partnering with influencers to host live auctions to attract their followers, leveraging the influencer’s audience and thereby achieving win-win outcomes. As an e-commerce brand, you too can harness the power of real-time bidding to engage customers, and increase your bottom line. Here’s how: 1. Enhanced Participation from a Live Audience: Customers actively participate, bid, and compete for items in real-time, so Live auctions create a sense of excitement and urgency. For example: An online fashion retailer hosts a live auction for limited-edition designer handbags, encouraging bidding wars among fashion enthusiasts. 2. Get more opportunities to Cross-Sell and Upsell: During live auctions, retailers can showcase other related products or services. For example: A home decor store auctions a vintage lamp, and while bidding is active, they highlight matching accessories like cushions or wall art. 3. Get better visibility for Limited-Stock Items: Flash Sales and Live auctions work well for one-of-a-kind or limited-stock items. For example: A collectibles store auctions rare comic books or a sportswear brand auctions autographed merchandise and memorabilia after a mega sports event. In conclusion, Live Auctions is not just a buzzword, but an effective tool that can unlock new revenue streams for eCommerce brands. With this technology, consumer brands can create a niche for themselves while increasing bottom-line growth.

🚨 Attention sports card collectors! Have you ever been at the center of an auction puzzling enough to deserve its own mystery novel? Enter the strange saga of the 2021 Topps Through The Years Shohei Ohtani card. 🃏 Initially selling for $854 and even reaching nearly $2,000 for a PSA 10 grade, this card looks like a prime collectible with its enticing design reminiscent of the revered 2019 Topps Definitive Collection. Yet, crucially missing are the autograph and relic that characterized its authentic predecessor. Instead, it's a reproduction—a detail lost amidst the excitement of the auction block and ambiguous labeling by Goldin Auctions. 🤔 This mix-up isn't just a hiccup—it's a call for transparency in the sports card market! With 37 sales totaling $8,822 and prices yo-yoing between $455 and $2,000, clear labeling could prevent a collector's dream from becoming a financial nightmare. Especially with Shohei Ohtani's cards skyrocketing after his monumental 50-50 season. 🌟 The contrast is stark: while an authentic 2019 Topps Definitive card fetched $3,500, a similar insert without those flashy features sells for less than $50. Collectors, it's more critical than ever to research before buying. Do auction houses and authenticators owe us a better glimpse into what we're bidding on? Let's champion a market where clarity reigns supreme, and collectors can invest with confidence. Follow us for more insights into navigating the world of AI-automated card collecting content! 📈 #SportsCardCollecting #CardAuctions #ShoheiOhtani #TransparencyInCollecting #SportsMemorabilia #AuctionInsight #CardCollectorCommunity #InvestmentAwareness #CollectWithConfidence #AIInCollecting

Hello everyone! In last week's expired auctions, out of the top 10 domains, 6 were .com, 2 were .org, and the remaining 2 were different TLDs. -dressage.org This domain was registered in 1997, making it 34 years old today. It's a single-word domain, short and potentially a good fit for a commercial organization with a .org extension. Currently, dressage.com is not in use, but it might be acquired in the future for brand protection. Either way, this is a very suitable acquisition. -loroparquetenerife.com “Loro Parque” is one of Spain's most famous attractions. This website started selling tickets and other services for this attraction in 2008, but for some reason, it stopped operating later on. However, due to the popularity of the attraction, the website consistently had good traffic, making its commercial value quite significant. -radiofun.com This domain is a very interesting product combination. It's perfect for an independent podcast brand, being short, clear in meaning, pronounceable, and with a well-defined industry focus. With the right logo, it can be commercialized quickly. -playmeofficial.com This is a three-word domain. It has a 10-year history and had been used as an art brand, so it has a certain amount of traffic. Currently, "playme" has many end users, which means this domain has huge commercial potential.

The prestigious and world-renowned auction house Sotheby's is set to make headlines tomorrow as it auctions off the original book cover illustration for J.K. Rowling's 1997 novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" by Thomas Taylor. This magical artifact is expected to sell for between $400,000 and $600,000. After taking their 20% cut, Sotheby's will likely be raising their wands in triumph. However, the days of traditional auction houses like Sotheby's and Christies and even traditional online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay might be numbered as more efficient Web3 sales models are becoming viable. As blockchain technology continues to cast its spell on various industries, the concept of digital ownership of real-world assets (RWAs) is gaining momentum. If you were lucky enough to attend RWA tokenization discussions at DEFICON, or if you're in the market for limited edition or rare and valuable items, forget everything you know about valuation; these old-school techniques are vanishing like a disillusionment charm. Web3 marketplaces introduce the idea of dynamic trading and fractional ownership - game-changing concepts in the direct to consumer (DTC) space. Imagine this Harry Potter book cover not ending up in the vault of a wealthy aristocrat or oligarch, but instead, having thousands, or even millions of happy owners, each paying a small amount for a token representing their ownership. With a fanbase as devoted as Potterheads, this collective buying power could surpass that of any individual buyer several times over. Each owner would have a tradeable token they can hold to cherish and brag, transfer to a friend, or just sell it back to the marketplace when the charm wanes with just a few magic clicks. Token owners can even be given voting rights as to which museums to host the original book cover, and perhaps enjoy perks like free museum entrance. Museums would surely love to see a stream of young and accompanied people visit to see their prized possession. Blockchain startups like RAMM.ai are closer to turning this from theory into reality than you might think. Their RAMM campaign-based selling approach with dynamic pricing models and automated built-in secondary markets is set to launch later this year and could revolutionize sales of limited-edition products like original art, but also fashion and beauty products, ticket sales and gift cards, extracting far more value from products than the current sales models. #Blockchain, #BlockchainTechnology, #Crypto, #Cryptocurrency, #NFT, #RWA, #Tokenization, #DigitalAssets, #Auction, #DigitalAuction, #Collectibles, #DTC, #DEFICON, #HarryPotter, #J.K.Rowling, #CryptoCollectibles
