What's So Great About Live Auctions?
Auctions Are Fun!
Auctions--real, live, walk-in-and-sit-down auctions--are wonderful entertainment (and they're free)! You can always meet and chat with interesting people, often discovering a shared interest and a new friend. The crowd itself generates an air of excitement, especially when several excited bidders pounce on the same item. And of course, nothing beats the surge of electricity you feel when YOU discover a treasure you've wanted for years!
Auctions Are Terrific Resources!
Collectors of antiques and memorabilia, whether beginners or advanced, find worthy additions to their collections at auctions. Dealers routinely attend auctions because they are generally reliable sources of supply, often at extremely low cost. Auctions, along with antique shows, offer wonderful opportunities for networking among collectors. And even if you don't collect anything, at an auction you can furnish a summer cottage, replenish your kitchenware, or simply replace a broken lamp--all at minimal cost.
Auctions Provide Incomes For Home Business Entrepreneurs!
An unending supply and unlimited variety of goods and merchandise provides countless profit minded entrepreneurs with reliable second incomes. Some auctions specialize in new merchandise, such as style changes and production overruns. Others sell used tools, or appliances needing some repair. There are even auctioneers who only sell the furnishings of closed businesses. Creative, ambitious people with a desire to make money find very profitable niches for themselves.
With "Auction Secrets" you'll learn to work auctions like a pro. The author--"Uncle Bob"--shares with you a lifetime of auction experience in a basic "how-to" manual. He'll show you how to find auctions, and how to choose which ones to attend. You'll see why your choice of a seat can affect your success, and why leaving your seat can sometimes be a winning strategy....
"Some people are consistently successful at auctions. They are the ones who understand how auctions work, and they use this knowledge to outsmart the crowd.

On page 7 "Auction Secrets" suggests (for country auctions), "Occasionally revisit an item of interest throughout the auction--some people like to move things around or bury them, to confuse their competitors. Always look in boxes under the tables, as you will often find more treasures there."
Collectors can minimize the chances of going to the "wrong" auctions--yet learn how to spot those rare occasions when the "wrong" auction could actually offer you the best opportunity in ages! Antique hunters in particular always love a chance to get the steal of a lifetime....
Antiques--Collectibles--Memorabilia--Furniture--Tools--Appliances--Fine Arts--Boats--Stamps & Coins--Housewares--Jewelry--Vehicles--Guns--Computer & Office Equipment...there is always an endless supply of material. Some auctions feature new merchandise; manufacturers' overruns, style changes, or closeouts. Others sell estates, which can (and often do) include unrecognized valuable antiques. "Auction Secrets" will even show you how thousands of people enjoy modest yet steady incomes by selling their auction bargains for substantial profits.
On page 12 you'll learn, "There are special auctions at which buyers can very often get first quality goods at 'distress' prices. Smart buyers then turn around and resell the items--booking some very nice profits--through organizations, direct mail, and even simple classified advertising."
This is the perfect home-based business for the entrepreneur who wants to work independently. There are no levels, no partners, no organizations. There are no meetings, no bosses, and no buy-in fees.
