 One
area of the economy that is booming is auctions. Of course,
with the spike in foreclosures there are countless auctions of
real estate occurring around the country. There are also auctions
related to repossessed vehicles, on paid storage locker fees,
property seized by state and federal governments, and also many
people just deciding to sell personal items to raise cash.
1. Bid 4 Assets
Bid 4 Assets offers a
wide variety of categories, including real estate, vehicles,
coins, collectibles, financial instruments, jewelry, and
memorabilia. What was especially
interesting to me was the number of real estate auctions with
starting bids of one
dollar and no minimum reserve price. During these tough
times, if you have some money saved up this may be a unique
opportunity in history to purchase assets for pennies on the
dollar. The site allows visitors to watch auctions in real time.
They also have an easy to use search feature, allowing a user to
quickly locate items they would be interested in bidding on.

2. Shop Goodwill
Shop Goodwill is a
service of Goodwill Industries. Yes, the same nonprofit
organization in your town that collects donations of used
clothes, furniture, and household items. The idea is a great
one for the organization. Participating Goodwill locations
around the country can list of selected items for sale online.
As the buyer, you need not be concerned with which Goodwill
location the item is located. As an auction winner, you simply
pick up the associated shipping costs and in three or four
days your item arrives at your door step. Take a few minutes
and you can review the items being auctioned at shop Goodwill
and you will find everything from antiques to musical
instruments. |
