Prevent Overspending in Online Auctions

By //  by 

It’s easy to get caught up in the thrill and excitement of online auctions. However, competing with other bidders to get what you want can quickly get out of hand if you’re not careful. It’s important to make sure you do not overspend when bidding. Overspending can lead to buyers’ remorse and/or financial troubles over time.

Set A Budget Before Bidding

Before placing your first bid, it’s important to know what you’re willing to spend on each item. For example, if you would like to buy a new chair for your living room, decide what you would be comfortable spending. If you plan to buy multiple things, decide what you want to spend on each item. Although it may be tempting to keep bidding, DO NOT cross your maximum spending limit. This is crucial if you’re trying to stay within your budget.

Consider Placing A Maximum Bid And Walking Away From the Auction

It might be helpful to place a maximum bid on each item you want and then let the platform handle the rest. If you don’t see what’s going on, you’re less likely to get caught up in a bidding war against other people. It may be tempting, but do not increase your maximum bid, even if you get notification that you’ve been outbid.

Research Similar Items Online to Find Their Value

When determining what to spend on an item, it’s a good idea to research the item online. Visit a few different websites to determine how much it’s worth. If the item is discontinued or hard-to-find, look for similar items or determine its personal value. Personal value is the amount of money an item is worth to you personally. This can vary from one person to the next.

Participating in online auctions is fun and easy. With a little bit of planning, you can ensure you do not overspend on the things you want. This can make bidding more enjoyable and ensures you have enough money left over for the things you really need.

Become a Smarter Shopper

By //  by 

Many people enjoy shopping. However, it’s important not to overspend when getting the things you need. With a little know-how and planning, it is possible to save on everything you buy. The following tips can help you become a smarter shopper.

Create a List

Whether you’re shopping for groceries or buying gifts for loved ones, it’s important to make list before you shop. Figure out how much you want to spend on each item on your list. Make sure you don’t overspend.

Think Before You Buy

It’s easy to get caught up in the thrill of shopping. Before spending your hard-earned money, ask yourself whether you really need what you’re about to buy. Think through whether you will use it and if you could get it somewhere else for less.

Take Advantage of Sales and Coupons

Smart shoppers never pay full price for anything. They wait until items go on sale or they use coupons for every purchase. With a little planning, you can save a considerable amount of money on everything you need. Some people even manage to get items for free when shopping with coupons.

Buy It Used

Many of the things you buy, like clothing and electronics, can be found at a second-hand store. Buying used not only saves you money, it keeps perfectly good items out of our landfills. This can benefit the entire planet.

Use Technology

Your smart phone or computer is your best friend when looking for deals. Many popular retailers will post sales and coupons directly on their website. Shopping online is often less expensive than shopping in stores.

Shop Online Auctions

While all of the previously mentioned tips can help you save money, nothing offers the same excitement, convenience, and cost-savings as shopping through online auction. When you shop online auctions, you have the opportunity to get everything you need for well below MSRP value.

Shop Our Auctions For Collectibles

By //  by 

Many people shop for collectibles online. Shopping online provides instant access to a wide range of items. Everything you could ever want is just a few clicks away. However, most resellers online know the value collectors place on certain items. It’s not uncommon to find popular and hard to find pieces priced well over their actual value. While it’s understood these items have a personal value to collectors and many may consider them priceless, no one wants to overpay for collectibles, especially around the holidays.

Shopping through online auction provides an affordable and convenient way to purchase collectibles and other hard to find items. However, it’s important to locate an online auction platform that does not encourage overspending. Many of the larger international online auction websites allow sellers to offer items at extremely high prices. The starting bid for these items is often several hundred percent higher than their retail value. Many times, sellers only offer one price. Collectors can end up spending thousands of dollars over the item’s original value.

Take Advantage of Deals On Everything You Need!

At Lots Of Auctions, we believe that no one should have to overspend on the things they need. Bidding always starts low and bidders have the opportunity to get a wide range of items for well below their retail value. Our Toy Auctions include a variety of collectibles and hard to find items. While winning bidders may end up paying over the original value of these items, they are more likely to pay a fair price since bidding starts at just $5.00. The selling price of items is determined solely by the number of bids.

In addition to collectibles, our online auctions feature home goods, electronics, small appliances, pet supplies, office supplies, furniture, and more. Thousands of Texas residents shop our online auctions for gifts each Christmas. Unlike big box stores which only offer sales a few times a year, bidders can take advantage of savings year-round when they shop our auctions.

Save On Kitchen Appliances This Christmas

By //  by 

The holidays are upon us and if you haven’t started planning your holiday meal, it’s time to do so now! Shoppers looking to get kitchen tools and kitchen appliances this Christmas may find these items difficult to find. Product shortages continue to be an issue in many parts of the country and appliances are popular gifts.

Shop Through Online Auction

Shopping through online auction is a great way to get what you need this Christmas. Not only can you find a wide range of kitchen tools, appliances, and accessories, but you can save a considerable amount on these items over shopping at your local department store. Bidding typically starts low and winning bidders can usually get name brand items for less than 50% of their retail value.

When choosing an online auction platform to buy from, it’s important to look for an auction company that offers a wide range of items and low starting bids. Although bidders can sometimes find deals on large auction websites, many items on these sites are overpriced. Sellers around the world use these platforms to offer hard-to-find items for extremely high prices. These sellers know that most people won’t check with other sources before buying. When faced with the possibility of not getting what they need, buyers often pay too much. Unfortunately, shipping can take a very long time for items purchased online. Many times, buyers won’t get what they won until they no longer need it.

Online Auctions in Texas

Lots Of Auctions is a Texas-based online auction company. Our online auctions take place in both Denton & Dallas, Texas. Our winning bidders can pick-up their items immediately after the auction closes. This prevents shipping costs and delays.

Unlike the larger platforms, Lots Of Auctions does not charge high prices for the items we offer. This is true even for hard-to-find and popular items. Bidding starts low and the final price is determined solely by the number of bids. Many of our bidders get name brand items for under their MSRP value.

Our Kitchen Accessories Auction features kitchenware and kitchen appliances from top name brands. We offer a large variety of air fryers, blenders, espresso makers, pots & pans, and more. Everything you need to prepare a great meal can be found in our Kitchen Auction.

Save On Gifts This Christmas By Shopping Online Auctions

By //  by 

Christmas is almost here and everyone is scrambling to find the perfect gifts. As retailers continue to swing between product shortages and oversupply, last minute shoppers might have a difficult time finding all they need this holiday season. Many retailers that offer hard to find and popular gifts will likely overcharge for these items. In addition to over spending, many shoppers will not get what they order in time due to shipping delays.

Fortunately, shoppers have other options! Shopping through online auction allows shoppers to get every gift on their list without overspending. However, it’s important that shoppers understand the difference between international and local online auction platforms. International platforms enable sellers to offer items at whatever price they choose. It’s not uncommon to find popular gifts selling for 200% or more over their retail price on these websites. This doesn’t typically occur due to bidding either. Sellers of popular items often set a high minimum bid or only offer items for sale for one set “buy it now” price. Another issue, sellers on these platforms are located all over the world. It can take a month or more to get certain items.

Take Advantage of Huge Saving On Everything You Need This Christmas!

When you shop with Lots Of Auctions, bidding starts at just $5.00. All of our bidders have a fair shot of getting what they want at an extremely low price. The final selling price of items is determined by the number of bids. Our online auctions feature name brand products including electronics, toys, collectibles, appliances, and more. Bidders can find several hard-to-find gifts and rare items in our auctions. Whatever you’re looking for, we probably have it.

Aside from low prices, bidders in our online auctions can pick-up their items the day after the auction closes. This eliminates shipping charges and long waits to get what you need. We offer auctions in both Denton & Dallas, Texas. Our online auctions are the perfect choice for last minute shoppers.

Steps For Bidding Online

By //  by 

The process for bidding online can vary from one auction website to the next. However, most auction platforms utilize the same bidding flow. Read on to learn the common steps for bidding in an online auction.

Register to Bid/Create an Account

Before bidding in your first online auction, you will need to register to bid with the online auction platform. During registration, you will provide your name, email address, and other contact information. Most sites also require you to provide your payment information. Collecting this information during registration helps simplify the auction experience.

View All Auctions

After creating an account, look through the auction company’s website to view their auctions. Typically, auctions will be split by category and/or pick-up location. Each listing should include the start and end dates of the auction, pick-up information, and a link to the bidding page. Clicking the link will take you to a list of all the individual items in the auction.

Place Bids on the Items You Want

Although options vary depending on the auction site you choose, you can typically place a one-time bid or a maximum bid. Bidders that place a one-time bid must manually enter bids as other people bid. Entering a maximum bid allows the system to bid on your behalf up until the amount entered. Bidding occurs in pre-determined increments. Bidders that enter a maximum bid will not need to pay the full amount entered unless bidding naturally reaches that amount.

Online auction platforms typically send emails and/or text messages when bidders get outbid. This provides a convenient option as it allows bidders to walk away from the auction.

Pay For the Items You Win

Once the online auction ends, you will need to pay for the item(s) you’ve won. If you entered payment information at registration, payment might be collected automatically after the auction ends. It’s important not to bid any amount you aren’t willing to pay. Once an auction ends, you will be required to pay for all items you’ve won.

Retrieve Your Items from the Auction Company

Make arrangements to pick-up your items within the load out times listed on the website. It’s a good idea to check these times and the location of the auction before you bid.
