Well, depending on where you are, auctioneering requires a license, so you may in fact no be allowed to do it.
Otherwise, sure you could do it. There's all the headaches already mentioned. I don't think I saw anyone point out collecting/paying sales tax... That's enough of a headache for me to avoid it.
Having just gone through dealing with an estate, I know I'm very happy that I let the estate sale company have the commission. They handle the paperwork, advertising, money, setup, staffing, etc. They earned their money. I was there the whole time, so I know they did a good job. I could have certainly done it all myself, but not likely in the same timeframe, and not likely with the same success.
The second half of the estate will be going at auction. That will be an in person at the property. We've been buying from this auctioneer, and his father before him for 50+ years. He doesn't do on-line. Electronic advertising, sure, but selling is in person. He's going to earn his commission too. His family will be getting commission on some of this stuff for the second or third time most likely...
For what it takes to do a successful sale, I'd be almost as happy to just drop it off at goodwill as do it myself.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
