I don't know if any of you guys like auctions. Able Auctions is a local place for me that has some pretty smoking deals.

There is a computer auction Thursday:

I personally perfer eBay (which owns PayPal). It's safe, secure, and I don't think they are going anywhere. For online shopping I normally use Amazon, which is great. They have pretty good service (if you can get their phone #). For people who buy things on the internet you may want to pick up a copy of US News, they have an intresting article (multiple pages) on it.

I like eBay as well. I found some good buys and I have had some real stinkers.

Able Auctions is big. I have been to a couple live auctions. Different than eBay since it is a live auction and an internet auction. Probably better deals than on eBay as these are brankrupted companies and in CDN Dollars (don't know about shipping and duty though).

Live auctions are intresting, I bought my car from one, it's quite fun actually.

I also have an auto dealers license and we have a HUGE auction, DAA, here in Spokane that does live auction on the internet for people that can't make it to the weekly sale....

Live auctions are definately wild!

That's for sure, but I think the key is listening and not just putting your hand/number out as soon as the guy says something, because some people do that. If you think it's to high, just let it be.

Eric,

Out of cuiosity, how does one go about getting their auto dealer's license? Sound's interesting.

Thanks,
Stephen
