As you've undoubtedly noticed, the government lives off of our tax dollars. Taxes are one of those subject that gets everybody agitated. If you really want to get steam coming out of someones ears, just take them to a government auction. The government buys and discards valuable things at a rate that is simply stunning. The waste is amazing, but you can take advantage of it at auctions. You've all seen the quips online and on late night television. You can buy a house for $100 at a government auction or a car for $50. These advertisements would seem to fall under the “too good to be true” category at first glance. In general, they are too good to be true, but that doesn't mean you cannot get a...

I find it unfortunate that many people simply write-off the potential savings found at public car auctions. It seems like many people assume that the cars sold at these events are all clunkers in bad condition. It's too bad because there really are some good deals to be had on nice cars as well. Sure, there are old cars in bad condition at these auctions. But it is also true that there are nice, low-mileage ones too. For example, there was recently a Treasury Department auction here in Miami that had a beautiful Rolls Royce and a bunch of gorgeous classic models that had been repossessed by the IRS. There was nothing the matter with these vehicles. People simply didn't pay their taxes and the...

Many people go to public car auctions (the ones you don't need a Dealer license for ... anyone can go) in order to get a good deal on their next car. But the fact is that these auctions provide serious income possibilities as well. While there are many older, higher mileage vehicles at these auctions that I personally am not particularly interested in, there's almost always some hidden "gems" as well that are ideal for reselling. Profits on these sorts of vehicles are usually in the $1,000 to $3,000 range. But what do you look for in a vehicle to capitalize on this? Well, it's hard to explain exactly, but you'll know them when you see them as you preview the listings a few days before an auction...

A repossessed car auction can be the perfect start up ground for your own business. And by reading through this article you will find out the basics on how to build a business or earn money while you follow your passion which most likely is cars. The sad truth is that hundreds of cars are getting repossessed each month and the government does not have the budget to care for all these cards so it organizes auctions to get rid of the stock and in the process it makes money either to pay of the creditor or raise funds for their own purposes. What you need to know about these auctions is that most of the times the vehicles presented are in tip-top condition and they have their paper work in order...

The insurance industry hosts regular salvage car auctions. A lot of the autos that are on show in these auctions have had accidents. The insurance company will make the decision if the expense of having the vehicle repaired is worth it. If they decide not the vehicles are usually auctioned off. Most of the vehicles involved in severe collisions are too damaged to be used again as road vehicles, but their parts and materials still have use. It is still not impossible to see good cars hidden under all that damage in salvage auctions. Some vehicles at them can be seen to be in good mechanical order and may not even have been driven in before. They just have cosmetic damage so they can't be sold as new...

My sweetheart's father is very interested in beer art. Breweriana is the special name for beer related artifacts. I've been watching for special pieces to include to his collection at art auctions I've been attending. The first breweriana piece that I acquired for my better half's father was a 1940s Lone Star Beer sign. He was so pleased with this find at the art auction that he asked me to keep finding him interesting bits of beer history. I feel like finding breweriana at art auctions is definitely an article on today's society. I found another really old piece of breweriana at the very next auction I attended. It was another sign and it was from the 1930s for Ziegler Beer. I was at an art auction...

A property auction is not an especially civilised process when you think about the emotional and financial magnitude of the decision-making involved in either buying or selling a property. Auctions are a fabulous way for real estate agencies to sell property - but for property sellers there are serious issues to be aware of. Here are some issues for property sellers to consider: 1. The auction system itself is in direct conflict with the concept of 'fair market value'. Fair market value implies a willing seller and a willing buyer unencumbered by undue pressure, each acting in their own best interests and a reasonable time for exposure in a free and open market. That doesn't sound like the auction...

So why would I make such a comment like that; I mean, they're happening everywhere, aren't they?. They're even on TV. So let's go back a bit. Can you remember back to when they were a rare happening. Some big house owned by the local rich family or the farm or antiques; that kind of thing. Now it seems to be just about every three-bedroom homeowner is being convinced to sell that way. So let's look at what or who has driven this upsurge, and why they would have done it? I like to go back to basics and ask the Question; Who Benefits? Because whoever benefits, you can bet they're the ones driving the "A" truck, and are trying to get us all up on the tray It's the media barons folks ... the major...

Collecting major league baseball cards has been an American past time for decades. In fact the first baseball trading cards were produced as far back as the 1860s! This was right when photography and baseball first started becoming popular. What makes trading baseball cards different these days from the past are the online auction sites. There has never been more interest in collecting baseball cards. So who are the most popular teams at these online auction sites? I decided to do some investigating to find out for myself. I used a few different methods to decide which teams were the most popular major league teams, at least in regards to baseball card sales. Here are my results: 1. Yankees. This no...

Historically, Sony has used excellent marketing tactics to ensure massive demand for their consoles to great profit and market share for this technology leader. Unfortunately, many unscrupulous people try to cash in on the pre-Christmas demand by buying a console and then reselling it via Ebay or other online auction sites for two to four times it's list price to get consumers to part with their money and line their own pockets. In 2001, a Father and Son team managed to rack up nearly $144,000 in funds as they offered PS2's online though Ebay auctions and others for between $400 and $700. They never had any consoles to sell, but netted the money. This team got caught and convicted on wire fraud...

If you have been following latest trends in the real estate market then you must know that thousands of houses in the United States were foreclosed as the homeowners could not pay their home loan back. This created a huge economical turmoil all over the world. Foreclosed homes are sent to auction and homes sold on auction are quite cheap, actually many times cheaper than the market price of the property. As a result the market price of properties also went down and the entire market entered into a loop. Expert investors and people who prepared to buy homes made the best use of this situation. Properties bought in auction can be flipped, i.e., resold for a higher price. Thus auction home sales can...

The September/October 2009 issue of Arrive magazine from Amtrak has an article called Fashion's Makeover (page 34) by Michele Meyer. The article is about how the fashion industry has changed in light of the economic slump. Meyer proposes that to survive in this new climate, apparel designers and merchants must rely on instinct, innovation, exclusivity, and the Internet. Sounds like there's some advice in here that benefit auction committees would also be smart to follow. Let's dig deeper. In the "instinct' category, Meyer writes the following: "Paring back not only helps stores but also helps shoppers. Scaled-down inventory offers a sharpened point of view and a sense of urgency: If there's just one...

In most of the silent auctions my company conducts - and occasionally a live auction - at least one of the items will be donated from a photographer. Usually the donation is a free sitting with one 8"X10" print for a family, a couple, or an individual. Although these items are usually displayed nicely and the photographer often has a lovely image of his or her work available to view, the items rarely sell for top dollar. I've been thinking of ways to improve this auction item and recently heard of an idea which might offer a new twist on this common donation. Have you heard of a photo party? Photo parties are usually hosted by a family at their home. They invite 10 to 15 other families over for the...

I love when people ask me, "How do your reverse auctions work?" It shows that they are open to learning new things and not so skeptical that it keeps them from saving money!

Although functionally the same, they are...

If the person gets 1000 people and each of them makes 10 bids you can see how they easily make their money back even if...

In this review I will shed some light on Swoopo and give you more insight regarding Swoopo's online bidding process. If you don't already know what Swoopo is, its similar to most online auction sites, except they use a "pay to bid" system. In a traditional auction process like eBay, you would place bids up until your max dollar amount, and submit your payment after you win the auction. However, with Swoopo, you are required to pay approximately 60 cents each time you place a bid, hoping to become the final bidder and win the item at a discount. So if you win an auction, your total cost would add up as such: Bid click premium + final auction item price + shipping & handling costs For example...
