    Rather depends what you're looking for. There are a number of Art Auction Houses that offer online bidding as well as some of the other big salerooms such as Mealy's of Castlecomer http://www.mealys.com/ and Sheppard's of Durrow http://www.sheppards.ie/

    A fairly comprehensive list of dealers is available here: http://collectireland.wordpress.com/

    It wouldn't be any harm to view the objects before buying them .

    Your not going to see damage or repair from the auctioneers illustrations !

    Sometimes people request a written 'condition report' if they are spending a significant amount of money on an object !

    It could be a bit like buying at a car auction , you'd want to have a good idea that your not buying a nicely polished clapped out banger !

    Not wanting to put you off , it can be great fun learning and buying antiques at auction !
