Auction Sites of Interest
Wigix Inc. - wigix.com- they call their site
the "community driven marketplace" where you can bull, sell, research and
track items for sale, and share information.
wigix.com
lists the items for sale in what are called "catalogs" which you can add
pages to. The catalogs have a wide selection of categories, similar to what
you see on other auction sites like eBay.com.
They have a community environment where you can share tips & tricks on
buying and selling, and you can review & comment on information posted on
their discussion boards and blogs.
Their aim is to be a premier e-commerce Web site for buying & selling of
goods online. The categories of items for sale rival those of wigix.com,
eBay.com and other sites that have a broad mix of items for sale.
You can open your own (free) store on
silkfair.com
with free listings and a unique URL. Your store can include selling with
video and back up your selling effort with a discussion board and blog for
each of your stores that you open. And, they let you link to your existing
eBay.com rating (for those who are selling merchandise on eBay.com)!
Etsy Inc. - Etsy.com- here's an auction
site focused on handmade items, exclusively. There is an extensive range of
categories of handmade items and crafts to choose from.
A unique area of the
Etsy.com auction site is their "Alchemy"
section where you can post requests for hand-made items and others can bid
on making them for you!
Similar to the other auction sites noted above,
Etsy.com has an
Etsy.com Community section where you can find out about
teams that have formed, chat with others, attend workshops ("virtual labs"
as Etsy.com calls them), review & post comments in their forums, and find
out the latest news and articles related to the handmade products and the
handmade movement.
Oodle, Inc. - oodle.com - this an auction
Website takes a different approach in that they have sellers post "ads" for
items that they want to sell. Ad postings are also pulled in from numerous
other ad-posting sites and social networks. You can even receive an alert
when the item you are looking for (or personal match) is found!
Popular ad categories on
oodle.com include for example: Cars, motorcycles, RVs, boats
real estate, for rent, jobs, pets, tickets, and even Heavy Equipment.
oodle.com
has a "personals" section where they show postings (picture & brief
write-up) on individuals from other personal listings Websites and social
networks.
