Tired of the online auction site that you normally use? Frustrated by losing that fantastic bargain at the very last second? Or are you simply looking for an alternative auction site? How about a new online auction site that you can join for free and use to buy or sell for NO fees? Yep, you read that correctly, NO FEES!
I like online auctions, in spite of my recent fiasco with the computer. You can really find some great items on these sites and with Christmas coming up that's even better. When your funds are limited, like mine, any money one can save is always a bonus. More so if you are, like me, buying presents for someone that has a fancy for more expensive items. If I can buy something expensive for a cheap price, all the better for me!
So, I looked into this website and the registration is very simple, as it should be. You can sign up as a buyer or a seller, and quickly be on your way to buying those bargains you see. Everywhere I went on the site from books to wholesale lots I saw that the seller accepts PayPal, just like the other auction site, so this is also a big plus. I like PayPal and they offer the buyer some protection so that's nice as well.
So, give the website a look-see for yourself. Sign up and be buying or selling in no time. And remember, there are NO FEES!. I have to say, I really like that part!

A Penny Saved...
LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) - A penny saved is not necessarily just a penny earned: One man’s collection of rare American cents has turned into a $10.7 million auction windfall.
The collection of 301 cents featured some of the rarest and earliest examples of the American penny, including a cent that was minted for two weeks in 1793 but was abandoned because Congress thought Lady Liberty looked frightened.
That coin and a 1794 cent with tiny stars added to prevent counterfeiters each raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to the Dallas-based auction house Heritage Auction Galleries, which held the sale in Long Beach on Friday night.
Heritage Auction president Greg Rohan said the auction was the biggest ever for a penny collection, with hundreds of bidders vying for the coins. Presale estimates valued the collection at about $7 million.
“It was a fabulous night,” Rohan said. “Every major coin collector of American cents was either there in person, bidding online or on the telephone.”
The coins came from the collection of Burbank resident Walter J. Husak, the owner of an aerospace-part manufacturing company. Husak became interested in collecting at age 13, while visiting his grandparents who paid him in old coins for helping with chores.
There were 168 successful bidders, and the auction gallery got 15 percent of the total.
