Popular online news website Examiner.com's Jennifer Eberhart talks about Lark Mason and the success of iGavel Auctions in her column. Below is an excerpt from the article:
Mainly comprised of regional dealers like Nye and Company, Daniel Cooney Fine Art, and Litchfield County Auctions, iGavel has a never-ending supply of artworks passing through its site. Over fifteen categories are noted on the site, including stamps, jewelry, books, and fine art. Mason notes that the top sales are in furniture, painting, and Asian art. Sales have exceeded the $2 million mark in the past but you can find smaller works online for a starting bid as low as $25. Lark Mason, an expert in Asian art whose past experience includes work at Sotheby's, and who is now a television personality on Antiques Roadshow, says he loves the dynamism of the art market working an antiques business means he can combine both research and finance in his career. Mason runs his company efficiently. Every sale is on a carefully contrived schedule before one auction ends another has already started, and there is constant site updating, keeping buyer interest from beginning to very end. Although no official celebrations have been planned to mark the decade, Mason is obviously proud of the work he and his company have done.
