Free White Paper: A New Approach to Payment Security (PCI) Based on his work with Internet 500 and Fortune 1000 companies, e-payment expert Dave Glaser reveals a totally new approach to payment security and centralized payment management. Includes a blueprint for centralizing payment management. It is not likely that the founders of the Internet ever imagined all their hard work would lead to an online bidding war for bullet casings from the set of "Mission Impossible 2." However, thanks to a live TV and Internet auction being put on by cable channel American Movie Classics (AMC) and Ibidlive on July 12th, that is exactly what s happening. The auction will carry a wide range of movie memorabilia from some of Hollywood s leading men and will be broadcast live from Los Angeles on AMC. Web surfers will be able to bid in real time via the Net. When a bid is entered online, it is picked up almost instantly by an "auction attendant" who is live at the event and sends up the bid, just as is traditionally done with phone auctions, Ibidlive said. Mixed Results For instance, an auction of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia at eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) in March ended with mixed results. A silk-and-chiffon gown worn in the movie "The Prince and the Showgirl" and a handwritten note on Monroe s reasons for seeking a divorce from her first husband, Jim Dougherty, went for US$23,375 and nearly $3,000, respectively. However, a set of nude photographs of the movie star failed to sell, reportedly because none of the five bids received met the undisclosed minimum price set by the seller, Tom Kelley, Jr. In September 2000, however, William Doyle Galleries broadcast its sale of late actor James Cagney s collection on Ibidlive and Pax TV. That sale brought in $480,671, with a quarter of the lots selling to online bidders.
