[edit] Merge

It has been suggested that Sotheby's International Realty be merged with this page. I think since it's a seperate entity altogether, and is more related to Realogy (formerly Cendant), so it shoud be kept seperate. --Auinteractive 15:49, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree, the articles should remain separate. Doc ♬ talk 23:55, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Does anyone know where the name Sotheby comes from?

I've added the explanation from their page on the subject... 68.39.174.238 21:05, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not NPOV

"excellent"? and why no mention of the recent controversies?

[edit] The pic

If it's a public building, someone should be able to get a free-er pic of the place... 68.39.174.238 21:02, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll see about getting a new pic --Auinteractive 15:49, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Age

Sotheby's themselves have stated that they're the second oldest auction house in continuous operation (second to Stockholms Auktionsverk) as stated, however when reading about Stockholms Auktionsverk it's stated that Uppsala Auktionskammare was established in 1731 which would make it older than Sotheby's... http://www.uppsalaauktion.se/ Jfalk (talk) 09:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
