From the Author
Over the last three years, eBay, an online auction site, began paving the way for what has become the hottest trend in buying and selling merchandise via the Internet. What started out as a fun way to meet others with similar collecting interests has turned into a multi-million dollar business. Today there are over 300 online auction sites open for business and more making their way to the Internet daily. The Auction Book: 1999 Guide to Online Auctions can help you navigate the net, which now offers thousands of items up for bid. Retail stores, such as The Sharper Image, soon realized the benefits of having their own online auction, as have several wholesale computer and electronic equipment outlets, in order to serve as a lucrative means to expand their marketable horizons. Surprisingly, the traditional auction houses such as Sotheby's, Christie's and Butterfield & Butterfield have recently announced their presence will soon be felt on the Internet. With a multitude of valuable antiques and collectibles making their way to online auctions, it was only a matter of time before some of these premier institutions found their calling on the 'net. Celebrities have found the Internet appealing too. Rosie O'Donnell now has ongoing charity auctions for her "For All Kids Foundation". Universal Studios also offers a charity auction with a portion of the proceeds going towards the American Lung Association. Ansel Adams fans, get ready for 14 of some of the best photo-images to become available on the market -- exclusively on Auction Universe. You don't have to be a big name company or person to become involved in online auctions. There are hundreds of great auction sites currently open for business that were founded by independent dealers and collectors of all types of salable merchandise. Whatever you are looking for, from Antiques, Automobiles, Jewelry, Computers to Exotic Animals, the Internet has become a serious marketing source for merchandise and can often be obtained far below current retail prices. Many consumers are flocking to the net to buy and sell items online and it became apparent that there was a dire need for some type of concise, Internet auction companion guide to help them along in their journey.
Enter "The Auction Book - 1999 Guide to Online Auctions - Volume Two." This guide does the homework for you. Search engines have become an overwhelming sea of vague information taking precious time away from the consumer who wishes to get to their destination rather quickly. This new edition, authored by veteran Internet auction users, Reyne Haines and Arden Snyder, is jam packed with information for the novice as well as the veteran online auction attendee. It includes articles written by industry professionals as well as over 200 online auctions listed by category. Joining in the auction frenzy, the news media have just completed interviewing the two authors of The Auction Book for featured articles in "Antique Week, Bottom Line Personal and Worth Magazines," to name a few, with more requests arriving daily.
