Father’s Day Gifts Available!

Savvy shoppers know how to find great gifts for less. These shoppers know that online auctions provide the greatest value for your buck. Bidding starts low and bidders can register to bid for free.

Choosing an online auction company that allows you to set a maximum bid helps keep you from overspending. This is the perfect option for shoppers working with limited funds and for people that tend to get caught up in the excitement of bidding.

While online auctions allow you to get name brand gifts for less, it’s important to choose an auction company that offers a wide range of items. Keep in mind that you’ll be competing against other bidders. Keeping your options open ensures you’ll end up with a gift, even if your first choice goes to someone else. It’s a good idea to have a few back-up options when bidding, especially this close to Father’s Day.

Shopping For Dad

Popular options for Dad include our Electronics Auction, Home Improvement Auction, and Sporting Goods Auction. Dads that enjoy cooking may appreciate a new air fryer or other appliance from our Kitchen Auction.

When selecting your auction, make sure you’ll be available to pick-up your items after the auction closes. Pick-up occurs within one week after the auction closes at the warehouse listed in the auction description. Currently, Lots of Auctions offers online auctions in Denton & Dallas, Texas.

Spring is here and couples everywhere are taking advantage of the warmer weather. This time of year is perfect for weddings, bridal showers, and other events. If you’ve been invited to a bridal shower or wedding, you might be wondering what to get the happy couple. With product shortages still affecting much of the country, it might not be that easy to find what you need. Even if you can, prices are likely much higher than you’re used to. Everything has gone up in price since the start of the pandemic.

Before you run out to buy the perfect gift, you should check online auctions first. Online auctions provide an excellent alternative to visiting the store. All of the items listed are available now. This means you won’t have to wait for new product to arrive or delivery of your order. When you shop with Lots Of Auctions, you can pick-up your items immediately after the auction closes.

Benefits of Online Auctions

Our online auctions offer a large selection of items including home goods, furniture, home décor, appliances, and electronics. Bidders may even find collectibles and hard-to-find items in our auctions.

Unlike retail stores which charge a set price for each item, bidders can choose how much they pay for the items they bid on. Participants in online auctions can set a maximum bid and allow the platform to bid on their behalf. This method makes it possible for bidders to create and stick to a budget, preventing overspending.

Because bidding takes place entirely online, shoppers can participate when it’s most convenient for them. Many bidders place bids late at night or during short breaks at work. Shopping at the store simply isn’t possible during these times. After the auction closes, bidders can pick-up their items on their day off. Bidders have 7 days to pick-up from our warehouse. It is for these reasons and more that many shoppers find online auctions a much more convenient way to shop.

Still not convinced? We encourage you to give it a try! Registration is totally free and bidders pay nothing unless they win the auction. What are you waiting for? Register to bid today!

 

Common Online Auction Mistakes

By //  by 

Shopping through online auction provides a convenient way to get the things you need for less money than visiting the store. While most people understand the benefits of online auctions, many are scared to place their first bid. This fear often stems from concerns over buyer’s remorse and overspending. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to ensure success in your next online auction. Read on to learn how to avoid the most common online auction mistakes.

Overspending

It’s easy to get caught up in the thrill of online auctions. Bidding against other people provides an exciting experience for the bidder. Unfortunately, this can get out of control if you aren’t careful.

Set a budget before bidding. Decide what you’re willing to spend on each item and stick to it. Look for an auction company that allows you to set a maximum bid amount.

Buyer’s Remorse

Many people get concerned that they will regret their purchase after an online auction. This can happen if you shop impulsively. In order to prevent buyer’s remorse, decide what you want before you shop. For example, if you need new kitchen appliances, you don’t need to look at toys or clothing.

Choose an online auction platform that allows you to search by category. This helps ensure you only see what you need. It’s also a good idea to locate an auction platform that allows you to make returns. While you can’t return items simply because you don’t want them, knowing you can make returns on damaged items can make shopping less stressful.

Lack of Research

It’s important to understand the way that online auctions work before you bid. This can help you avoid problems in the future. Locate an auction company with a large customer base and a good reputation. Check the FAQ on their website to learn about their auctions.

Lots Of Auctions offers online auctions in Denton and Dallas, Texas. Our online auctions take place daily and winning bidders can pick-up their items immediately after the auction closes. Please click here to learn more about our auctions.

Online Auctions – The Environmentally-Friendly Way To Shop

By //  by 

Many people wonder about the environmental impact of their choices. From the way we eat to the way we shop, everything we do can take its toll on the environment. With Earth Day just a few weeks behind us, we thought it might be a good idea to discuss the environmental benefits of shopping through online auction.

Keep Perfectly Good Product Out of Landfills

Each year, retail stores clear out tons of product to make space for new inventory. What was once popular gets quickly replaced with new styles. Unfortunately, much of this older product ends up in our landfills taking up space and contributing to air, land, and water pollution.

Most of the items offered through Lots of Auctions are overstock and shelf pulls from major retail stores. Buying these items through online auction helps keep perfectly good product out of our landfills.

Reduce the Need for New Product

As mentioned above, department stores replace product on a continuous basis. Creating new product uses lots of resources and creates lots of pollution. Shipping product from the manufacturing plant to stores around the country puts more vehicles on the road, creating pollution and hazardous driving conditions.

When you buy liquidation items through online auction, you reduce the need for manufacturers to produce new product. The less people that buy from department stores, the less product they need to acquire.

Local Pick-Up Reduces CO2 Emissions

Most online auctions allow for local pick-up. This provides a convenient option for shoppers. It also eliminates the need for large trucks and airplanes to move product across the country. This reduces CO2 emissions caused by vehicles.

Shopping With Lots Of Auctions

Lots of Auctions provides online auctions with local pick-up in Dallas & Denton, Texas. Our auctions take place daily and bidders can choose from hundreds of items and multiple categories. Shopping through our online auctions is convenient, fun, and much more environmentally-friendly than visiting the store.

Not sure where to start? Click here to register to bid. You can view all items in each auction by clicking “BID NOW” on the listing.

 

Don’t Forget Mom! We Have Gifts for Mother’s Day Available Now

By //  by 

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching. While most people have a general idea of what they’d like to get, shopping for Mother’s Day gifts isn’t always easy. Visiting crowded shopping malls and department stores can create frustration. This is especially true for people wanting to get Mom popular appliances or collectibles. These items can be extremely hard to find this close to Mother’s Day. Another issue, the cost of popular items goes up each year.

Fortunately, shoppers have options. Instead of shopping in-person, consider buying your Mother’s Day gifts through online auction. These auctions feature a variety of items, many of which are difficult to find in your local big box store.

Get High Value Gifts for Less!

Bidders in online auctions can get high value gifts at a fraction of their MSRP value. Bidding starts low and many items sell for under $20. This makes it possible to get excellent gifts without breaking the bank.

Our auctions take place daily, and bidders can choose from hundreds of items. After the auction closes, winning bidders can pick-up their items from one of our warehouses in Texas. This saves money on shipping costs and helps avoid delays. When you shop through online auction, you can rest assured that you’ll have the perfect gift in time for Mother’s Day.

At Lots Of Auctions, all of the items we offer are separated by category. This makes it easy to find exactly what you need. Popular categories for Mom include kitchen, electronics, and health & beauty.

Choosing An Online Auction Company

When choosing an online auction platform to buy from, it’s important to check the pick-up times and location. Knowing this information in advance helps avoid problems after the auction closes. It’s also important to understand the way that bidding works. Check our FAQ for information about our online auctions.

You have many choices when it comes to shopping for Mother’s Day. Shopping through online auction is more convenient, less expensive, and more exciting than visiting the store. Please click here for more information about our online auctions.

 

 

Improve Life for Your Pet 

By //  by 

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), over 23 million Americans or one in five households in the U.S. adopted a pet during the pandemic. This makes sense, as animals are known to reduce stress and provide comfort during times of uncertainty. As we move further into 2022, many people are looking to provide a better life for their pets. In fact, its not uncommon for homebuyers to site their pets as the main reason for moving this year. 

Although moving into an entirely new home may seem a little extreme, there are a few things pet parents can do to improve life for their pets. A few small purchases now could have a big impact on your pet’s quality of life. 

Toys and Games 

As more people return to the office, many worry that their pet will be bored or lonely at home alone. Providing toys could help keep your pet distracted during the day. In addition to chew toys and plushies, several electronic pet toys exist as well. These toys provide entertainment at intervals determined by you. Having a few different options set to go off at different times throughout the day can keep your pet happy, healthy, and entertained all day. 

Dishes  

Many pet parents don’t realize that ceramic and plastic dishes can cause health problems for their pets. Plastic dishes can release harmful chemicals into the water. This is especially true for pet bowls left outside in the sun. Ceramic dishes can contain lead. Switching to stainless steel helps ensure your pet stays healthy. 

Pet Beds 

Providing your pet with a soft comfy bed helps keep them off the furniture and could make them feel more happy and secure.  

Shopping for Pet Supplies 

Visiting the pet store isn’t always convenient or affordable. Pet supplies can cost a considerable amount of money and many areas simply don’t have good options. Shopping through online auction makes it possible to get what you need for your pet at a fraction of the cost of visiting the store. Because bidding takes place entirely online, bidders can shop both day and night when it’s most convenient for them.  

Lots of Auctions offers pet supplies through online auction in Denton and Dallas, Texas. Bidding starts at only $5 for most items, and winning bidders can pick-up their items immediately after the auction closes. This eliminates shipping delays and provides a more convenient option over visiting the store. Click here to register to bid. 

Spring is the Perfect Time to Update Your Home! 

By //  by 

Spring is here and with it comes warmer weather, extra daylight, and an invigorating feeling. This makes spring the perfect time to make repairs and upgrades to your home. Although some people choose to tackle large projects like additions and remodels, most people take on smaller projects in the spring. 

Window Replacement 

Replacing the windows of your home provides numerous benefits. In addition to upgrading the overall look and curb appeal of your home, window replacement can save you a significant amount of money over time. New windows keep cold air out and warm air in during the cooler months. The opposite is true during summer. New windows make heating and air conditioning systems more efficient, reducing both energy and maintenance costs. When HVAC systems don’t have to work as hard, they’re less likely to experience problems. 

Update Flooring 

Replacing the flooring in your home can have a dramatic effect on its look and feel. Replacing carpet with hard flooring reduces allergens and makes clean-up easy.  

Over time, carpets collect dirt and stains. Carpet can begin to smell as bacteria grows deep inside the fibers. Once this happens, it can be impossible to get carpets clean. It’s much easier to clean hardwood floors. All that is needed is a quick vacuum and dust mop once a week.  

Lighting 

Updating the lighting of your home improves both visibility and safety. New lighting fixtures look better than older designs and provide an instant upgrade to the interior of your home.  

Adding lighting in darker areas of the home and outdoors removes shadows. This reduces the chance that intruders can hide in or around your home. 

Shopping for Supplies 

When making upgrades and repairs, homeowners are often surprised by the high cost of building materials and home improvement supplies. These high costs may make homeowners put off necessary improvements. Fortunately, there are options.  

Shopping through online auction allows homeowners to get the home improvement supplies they need for less. At Lots of Auctions, we offer online auctions in Denton, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Haltom, Texas. Our Haltom City auctions include a wide range of building materials and supplies. Our home improvement auction includes tools, parts, and other necessary equipment. Bidding starts low and winning bidders can pick-up their items immediately after the auction closes. 

The Ins & Outs of Online Auctions

By //  by 

Advances in technology have allowed amazing things to happen. The internet has changed the way people communicate, keep track of local and international events, and shop. Most people today have a smart phone or other connected device. These devices connect users with businesses all over the world. When it comes to online shopping, users have everything they need at a click of a button.

While shopping online has become extremely popular in recent months, shipping issues continue to cause problems for shoppers in the U.S. It seems like nothing ever arrives on time. This can be especially troubling when you need something fast.

Many people find that shopping in stores provides little relief. Because of supply chain issues, product is difficult to find. Shelves can stay empty for months on end. For certain items, supply chain issues will continue for several months.

Shopping through online auction allows you to get name brand items at a fraction of their MSRP value. Another benefit, winning bidders can often pick-up their items immediately after the auction closes. This avoids shipping delays and ensures you get your items fast.

About Online Auctions

Online auctions offer a large selection of items from a wide range of categories. Shoppers can find everything from electronics to home improvement supplies. Bidding starts low, and winning bidders can get name brand product for well below MSRP value.

Although auction platforms can vary, popular items available through online auction include furniture, kitchen appliances, home décor items, and more.

What If What I Buy Is Broken?

When you shop through online auction, you place bids on items without seeing them first. Although most auction platforms provide pictures of each item, it can be difficult to determine whether items will work. It’s important to look for an auction company that allows you to return items that don’t meet your expectations after purchase.

Popcorn Bidding

Many auction platforms utilize a popcorn bidding system. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with this type of system before bidding. Popcorn bidding is designed to ensure everyone gets their final bids in before the auction closes. If someone bids in the last few minutes of the auction, the end time extends. This continues until all bids have been placed.

Conclusion

Online auctions provide an exciting way to save money on the things you want and need. Bidding takes place both day and night, allowing bidders to participate when it’s convenient for them. Shopping through local auctions allows you to pick-up your items immediately after the auction closes. There are numerous benefits to online auctions, far too many to mention here.

Tips to Help You Win Online Auctions

By //  by 

Online auctions provide an exciting shopping opportunity for bidders. This type of shopping is unlike any other, and new bidders are often surprised how fast the process moves. While many auctions last several days, most of the bidding takes place at the end of the auction.

It can be hard to figure how much to bid when getting started. It’s important to develop a bidding strategy before participating in any online auctions. The tips below may help.

Figure Out Your Maximum Bid Before Bidding

Before placing your first bid, it’s important to decide what you’re willing to spend on each item. When choosing your maximum bid, it shouldn’t exceed the value of the item.

Stay Calm While Bidding

Online auctions happen quickly. It’s easy to get swept up in the excitement and thrill of bidding. Unfortunately, this can lead to overspending. This is why it’s so important to decide on a maximum bid before starting.

Watch Items Closely – Especially Near the End of the Auction

Before bidding, make sure you’ll be available at the closing time of the auction. This helps ensure you get your final bids in. Keep in mind that many auction platforms utilize a popcorn bidding system. This means the auction end time extends each time someone bids in the last few minutes of the auction. Be prepared to watch the auction for about two hours after the closing time. This ensures the greatest chance of success.

Utilize Maximum Bid Features

Many auction companies offer a “Maximum Bid” option on each item. Once entered, the system automatically places bids on behalf of the bidder. This is the easiest way to ensure you don’t overspend or miss out at the end of the auction.

Wait Until the End of the Auction to Bid

Many successful bidders do not place any bids until the end of the auction. This strategy prevents other bidders from knowing early on what you’re interested in.

Final Thoughts

Online auctions provide a fun and exciting way to shop. However, it’s important to develop your bidding strategy before placing any bids. This helps ensure the greatest chance of success.
