A decade ago, eBay hosted Live Auctions. One could bid on individual lots from many of the smaller auction houses through the eBay platform. Apparently, the margins were too small to make it worth eBay's while, and the online service shut down Live Auctions giving only short notice. Today, this market is largely divided between Invaluable and Live Auctioneers.
A 1969 cartoon original by Ed Arno was sold by National Book Auctions late in 2016.
The subject was nursing St. Bernards—one could almost imagine the gag from those three words. It had been published in The New York Times.
