Save Money on Back-to-School Shopping This Year

By //  by 

According to the National Retail Federation, U.S. shoppers will spend $37 billion this back-to-school season. With inflation at an all-time high, consumers will likely spend over $500 each on school-related purchases this year. Shoppers looking to save money may want to look for new ways to shop.

Shopping through online auction provides many benefits. Bidding often starts low and bidders have the opportunity to get a wide range of items well below their retail value. Although shoppers can get just about anything through online auction, the following might be especially useful this time of year.

Dorm Furniture

Incoming freshman can save on dorm furniture by shopping through online auction. Auction companies like Lots of Auctions offer a large selection of furniture including office chairs, desks, small beds, storage units, TV stands, and more. Shopping through online auction ensures the lowest price, regardless of type of furniture or brand name. It’s not uncommon for shoppers to get pieces worth over $100 for less than $30.

Electronics

Electronic devices are one of the largest expenses during back-to-school season. From tablets and laptops to scientific calculators and headphones, the cost of electronics can add up extremely fast. Shopping for electronics and electronic accessories through online auction can save shoppers a considerable amount of money. At Lots of Auctions, our Electronics Auction is one of our most popular auctions year-round.

Office Supplies

Students can stock-up on office supplies for less when they shop through online auction. Office supplies typically found in these types of auctions include printers, toner, office furniture, and more.

Choosing an Online Auction Company

It’s important that shoppers do their research before choosing an auction company to buy from. Look for an auction company that offers a wide range of items. The website should be easy to use and bidders shouldn’t have to pay a fee to register to bid. It’s also important to make sure you understand where you need to go to pick-up your items after the auction.

Tips For Selling In Online Auctions

By //  by 

Online auctions allow sellers to reach a large audience in a relatively short amount of time. While selling items through online auction isn’t difficult, it’s important that sellers take their time when creating auction listings.

Research

Not all items sell well online. Sellers must research what bidders are actually buying.

Research what you’re offering before creating your listing. Sometimes, sellers don’t realize the items they have are rare or worth a lot of money. Offering rare or hard to find items increases the chance the people will bid. Check other auction sites to see what’s popular and what these items sell for.

Title and Description

The title and description of an item is the first thing shoppers see when scrolling through an online auction. You’ll want to make a good impression. Use keywords in the title that shoppers may search for. Mention whether the item is rare, discontinued, or hard to find. Use the description to add interesting facts about the item.

While you want to make people excited about your item, it’s important to be honest when creating your listing. This helps prevent problems with returns later. It’s also important to provide the correct names for the items you’re offering. Providing accurate information increases the chance of bids and ensures buyers are comfortable bidding on your auctions in the future.

Photos

Every listing should include at least one image of the item. Use photos to show as much detail as possible. Make sure the photos are clear and taken in a well-lit space.

Choosing An Auction Company to Sell With

Even if you spend a lot of time researching your items and preparing your listings, it won’t do any good if people do not see your items. Working with a popular auction company significantly improves your chance of success.

Lots Of Auctions offers auctions daily in Denton and Dallas, Texas. Our auctions attract thousands of local bidders. Our online auction platform is easy to use and bidders can register for free on our website. If you’re interested in selling with Lots Of Auctions, please fill out an application to sell.

 

Online Bidding Explained

By //  by 

Each week, thousands of Texas residents shop our online auctions for the things they want and need. Online auctions provide a convenient, exciting, and affordable way to purchase a variety of home goods, appliances, electronics, toys, and more. Bidding takes place entirely online, allowing bidders to participate when and where it’s most convenient to them.

If you’ve ever wondered how online auctions work, you’re not alone. Many people are unfamiliar with bidding online. Unfortunately, these people are missing out. Participants in online auctions often get name brand items at deeply discounted prices. Shopping through online auction is also more fun than visiting the store.

Registering To Bid

Before participating in online auctions, bidders must register with the online auction platform. Many online auction companies offer free registration.

Viewing Auctions

Online auction companies may offer auctions in several different locations. It’s important that bidders ensure they are able to pick-up their items after the auction closes. Search the auction website by location to view the auction details.

Placing Bids

Once you locate an item you’d like to bid on, you can choose to place a one-time bid or a maximum bid. Entering a maximum bid allows the platform to bid on your behalf. This is the most convenient way to bid in online auctions. It also helps ensure you do not overspend. Bidding amount increases by the bid increment listed on each auction. Winning bidders will not need to pay their highest bid amount unless bidding reaches that amount.

Paying For The Items You Win

Although auction platform terms may vary, typically full payment is due before receiving your items. Many online auction companies automatically charge the credit card provided at registration when bidders win the auction.

Picking-Up Your Items

Pick-up occurs at the location listed on each auction. Before bidding, make sure you will be available to pick-up during the load out times. Bring your invoice or payment confirmation with you to the pick-up location.

Final Thoughts

Online auctions allow shoppers to get what they need for less. Registration is easy and bidders pay nothing unless they win the auction.

Increase Your Odds of Winning Online Auctions

By //  by 

Online auctions provide a fun and convenient way to get the things you need for less. Participating in online auctions is easy, and many people enjoy the thrill of competing against other bidders. For people new to online auctions, winning might seem difficult, especially when there’s lots of competition. Fortunately, there are a few things bidders can do to increase their odds of winning.

Keep An Eye On The Auction

Most online auction platforms send some kind of notification when bidders get outbid. This might come as an email, text message, or both. Check your bid daily throughout the auction and make sure you’re present at the end of the auction when bids become more frequent.

Utilize the Maximum Bid Feature

Instead of manually increasing your bid, setting a “maximum bid” allows the system to continue bidding on your behalf. This feature allows bidders to walk away from the auction without fear of missing out.

Decide Your Maximum Bid

Many people get caught up in the excitement of bidding. It’s easy to overspend when competing for a high value item. For the best chance of success, set a maximum bid before participating in the auction. When deciding on your maximum bid, consider the actual value of the item. Setting your maximum bid just below the item’s value ensures you don’t overspend.

Pay Attention to Closing Times

Online Auctions close at different times throughout the day. Look for an auction that closes at a time when other bidders might not be available. For example, choose an auction that closes late at night or in the middle of the workday.

Make Sure You Can Pick-Up Your Items After the Auction

Many online auctions offer local pick-up after the auction closes. Before bidding, ensure you’ll be available to pick-up your items during the load out times provided. While this won’t help you win the auction, winning doesn’t do much good if you can’t get your items after the auction.

Online auctions provide an exciting opportunity for bidders. Although you probably won’t win every auction, having a well thought out bidding strategy can help improve your chance of success.

Online Auctions Allow Resellers to Increase Profit Potential

By //  by 

Resellers face tough competition. In order to succeed, resellers must get their product in front of the right people. This can be hard to do unless you have a large audience. Although swap meets and other open-air markets provide resellers with a way to reach the public, this option is limited to shoppers that visit the market. Shoppers at swap meets have several options to choose from and will often pass by vendors looking for a better price. Unfortunately, most that walk by don’t ever return.

Online Auctions Provide An Exciting Opportunity For Resellers

Selling through online auction allows resellers to reach a large number of shoppers in a short amount of time. Because bidding takes place online, shoppers can participate when it’s convenient to them. This increases the chance of repeat business.

Resellers that partner with a respected online auction company stand the best chance of success. Trusted auction companies typically have thousands of bidders ready to buy. The more people that bid on each item, the higher the price the reseller receives.

Because the online auction runs itself, resellers can maintain an online shop or physical shop during the auction. Online auctions increase earning potential for resellers with very little effort. The reseller simply needs to enter the information about their items and auction, and enable pick-up from their location after the auction closes. Some online auction companies will even hold product for the reseller at their location.

Online Auctions Save You Money On Electronics

By //  by 

Electronics aren’t as durable as they used to be. Smart phones, tablets, and other handheld devices simply don’t last as long as they used to. In addition to faulty batteries and other issues, it seems like new and upgraded devices get released each year. With every release, devices have more features and functionality. Unfortunately, the cost of new devices makes them almost impossible to obtain. Even if you can get the newest model, you’ll likely have a hard time upgrading when the newer one comes out.

Buy Electronics Online

Because of their short lifespan, many people try to save money when shopping for electronics. While trading in your older models might provide some relief, it’s not always easy or possible to find a place that accepts these trade-ins.

Shopping for electronics through online auction can save you a considerable amount of money. Online auctions often have a large selection of name brand electronics. Bidding starts low and winning bidders can get quality electronics for well under MSRP value.

When shopping for electronics, it’s important to locate a respected online auction company. Look for an auction platform with a large number of registered bidders. You might also want to make sure the auction company accepts returns. Although it isn’t likely to occur, you want to make sure you can return faulty items before 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.

Earn Extra Income – Sell With Lots Of Auctions!

By //  by 

Looking for a way to earn extra income? Consider selling with Lots Of Auctions! Each week, thousands of people participate in our online auctions. Read on to learn the top benefits of selling in our online auctions.

Reach More Buyers

When you sell through a physical location, you’re limited to local shoppers. When you offer products through online auction, you have the potential to reach a large number of people in a short amount of time. Because bidding takes place entirely online, shoppers can participate both day and night, increasing the chance of bids. It simply isn’t possible to reach this many people with a physical location.  Even if you open your store in a very busy area, it isn’t likely you’ll be able to stay open around the clock.

Instant Engagement

It takes a lot of time and effort to get people to visit your store. Once they do, it can be difficult to get them to make a purchase. Online auctions work differently. Bidders can go directly from an email or social media post to bidding. Once they bid, you’re guaranteed a sale.

No Product To Move

When resellers offer items through open air markets, they must frequently move product. This can take a lot of effort and fuel. Resellers that sell through online auction save time and money by having winning bidders pick-up their items directly from their warehouse or store.

Reduce On-Site Activity

Resellers can choose the dates and times that winning bidders pick-up their items. This reduces on-site activity and the amount of staff required.

Make Money In Your Sleep

Online auctions run both day and night. Bidders have the opportunity to participate when it’s most convenient to them. Resellers do not need to monitor auctions or be present to process sales. This is the greatest benefit of selling in online auctions.

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.
