Buying Gaming Accessories Through Online Auction

By //  by 

Nearly half of all Americans both young and old, play games on their phone, computer, or console. Playing video games removes the limitations we have in the real world and allows us to create a new reality. In video games, players are not limited by age, height, gender, or physical disabilities. The more we play these games, the more competent we become. Beating a video game builds self-confidence while improving problem-solving skills.

Don’t Let the High Cost of Gaming Supplies Keep You from Playing!

For many Americans, the high cost of quality gaming accessories and equipment prevents them from taking their gaming to the next level. Fortunately, passionate gamers can get the things they want and need through our online auctions. Gamers can find gaming monitors, controllers, headphones, and even consoles in our Electronics Auction in Denton, Texas. While items vary each week, there’s usually something available. Bidding starts at only $5 and bidders have the opportunity to get brand name gaming supplies for well below their MSRP value.

In addition to gaming supplies and accessories, we also offer chairs, television stands, and storage in our Contemporary Furniture Auction each week. Gamers can find everything they need to set-up their space and keep the game going.

Save Money Shopping Through Online Auction

By //  by 

It seems like everything goes up in price each day. It’s not just your imagination, prices have been rising in the U.S. as the economy recovers from the global pandemic. Prices have risen 4.3% since July 2020 on most items. This has left many people skipping out on the things they want. Fortunately, there’s a better way.

Shopping through online auction allows consumers to get the things they want and need for less than they would pay in a big box store. Bidding typically starts low, and bidders can get name brand products at a fraction of their MSRP value.

Choosing an Online Auction Platform

Every day, thousands of people participate in online auctions to compete for the best price. These auctions provide an exciting and cost-effective way to shop. However, it can be difficult to find an online auction platform that offers the things you want. Many auction websites only offer antiques or vintage items. While there’s nothing wrong with buying these items, it’s not practical to buy everyday products this way.

Look for an online auction platform that offers a large selection of products from multiple categories. For example, look for an auction company that offers everything from kitchen appliances to home electronics and toys. The more often new auctions launch, the more likely you are to find exactly what you need.

If possible, look for an auction company close to your home or office. Many online auction companies require you to pick-up your items from their warehouse. Even if they offer shipping, it costs less to pick-up the items yourself. This makes returns easier as well.

Lots of Categories & Products to Choose From

Lots of Auctions offers a variety of products through our online auctions. Bidders can choose from multiple categories and bidding for most items starts at only $5. Our online auctions start each day and winning bidders can choose between shipping within the United States and local pick-up.

Using Our Website – A Step-By-Step for New Bidders

By //  by 

Online auctions provide an exciting opportunity for bidders. Bidding takes place entirely online, eliminating the need to be physically present at an auction house at a certain date or time. Participants in online auctions bid against each other to get the best price. Bidding starts low, and bidders can get quality products at a fraction of their MSRP value.

At Lots of Auctions, we get a lot of questions about using our website. If you’ve never bid in any of our auctions, or you’d like to learn some tricks, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to learn how to participate in our online auctions.

View Our Auctions

Locate the auction you’d like to view. You can find all auctions on the home page separated by location. You can also find our online auctions under “Live Auctions” in the menu at the top of the page.

Click “BID NOW” on the auction you’d like to view. This will take you to a list of all available items in the auction. Click the plus sign to view details about each item.

Place Your Bid

Bidders can place bids on as many items as they choose. There is no limit to bidding. Bidders may choose to place a “Quick Bid” or submit a highest bid on each item. The “Quick Bid” option is a one-time bid. Bidders will need to manually enter all additional bids.

You can submit a highest bid by entering an amount and clicking “Submit Bid”. Typically, a highest bid will be the maximum amount a bidder is willing to pay for an item. Bidding amount increases by the bid increment listed on each auction. Winning bidders will not need to pay their highest bid unless bidding reaches that amount. The system sends notification when bidders get outbid. At this time, the bidder may choose to increase their highest bid or forfeit the auction.

Adding Items to Your Watch List

Bidders can add individual items to the “Your Favorites” tab found on the bidding pages of the website. Click the star to the right of the item title to add the item to “Your Favorites”. Clicking the “Your Favorites” tab at the top of the auction bidding page allows you to view and track selected items as the auction progresses.

Auction Close

Lots of Auctions uses a popcorn bidding system. This means that the closing time of the auction automatically extends if someone places a bid in the last few minutes of the auction. This system ensures that every bidder has a chance to place their final bids.

What Happens After the Auction?

Winning bidders are charged at auction close for all items they win. These bidders must pick-up their items within the pick-up window posted on each auction. Please contact us for information about shipping items outside of the area.

Top Tips for Selling Through Online Auction

By //  by 

Everyday, more people use the internet to get the things they need. It makes sense, as shopping online is more convenient than visiting a retail store. Shoppers can easily find and purchase a wide range of merchandise online.

Consumers have many options when shopping online. While ecommerce websites offer a large selection of products to choose from, they don’t typically provide the best price. Shopping through online auction allows consumers to get the things they need at incredible discounts. Bidding typically starts low, and bidders can compete against each other to get the best price. For resellers, online auctions provide an excellent alternative to in-person selling and other e-commerce options.

Resellers wishing to sell their products through online auction should learn as much as they can before listing their products for sale. This helps ensure the best chance of success.

List Products Accurately

When bidders get what they expect, they’re more likely to shop through auction again. This is why it’s so important that resellers provide accurate descriptions and pictures. Resellers should include as many details about the item as possible.

Take Quality Photos

It’s important that resellers capture quality photos of each item they sell. While this can take some time, listing products with photos helps draw bidders in and increases the chance of sales.

Specify a Starting Bid

Market conditions and consumer demand determine the final selling price of an item. However, the starting bid sets the tone for the auction.

Contact the Winner ASAP

After auction close, it’s important to notify the winners of each auction right away. Waiting too long to provide notification could result in winning bidders changing their mind. If possible, choose an auction platform that provides automatic emails following auction close. Ideally, the online auction website should provide notifications throughout the bidding process so bidders know where they stand and when they need to increase their maximum bid.

Keep Organized Records

Selling through online auction is a little different than selling products through an ecommerce website. When selling through online auction, it’s important to keep records on every item sold and winning bidders. This not only helps ensure the right items go to the right person; it also helps with tax preparation.

Sell Products Through Lots of Auctions’ Online Auction Platform

Lots of Auctions is an exciting online auction platform. Thousands of Texas and Missouri residents utilize our auctions to purchase the things they need. Our online auction platform provides automatic notifications to both bidders and sellers, simplifying record keeping and ensuring resellers get the best price for their items.

Renovating Your Home? Check Online Auctions for Home Improvement Supplies

By //  by 

With home prices rising and many people out of work, moving to a new home isn’t always an option. In an effort to save money, many Texas residents choose to fix up their existing home instead of moving. Home renovations cost much less than buying a new home.

Homeowners looking to save money on hardware, tools, and other items for their home could benefit from checking online auctions. These auctions include a wide variety of quality home improvement supplies. Because these auctions take place online, bidders can place their bids at any time both day or night. Once the auction ends, bidders can pick-up their winnings directly from the auction house.

Benefits of Online Auctions

In addition to saving on shipping, homeowners can typically get high quality merchandise for very little money through online auctions. Bidding starts low, and bidders often end up getting name brand merchandise at a fraction of its MSRP value.

Online auctions are more exciting than visiting a hardware store. After registering to bid, bidders can search all available products online. Once bidders have decided on the item(s) they want, they select a “maximum bid”. This doesn’t mean the bidder pays this amount. Instead, the system automatically bids on their behalf up until this number. The system sends an email notification the moment the bidder gets outbid. At this point, they can choose to increase their maximum bid or walk away from the auction.

Save Money with Online Auctions

By //  by 

It’s hard to resist the thrill and excitement of online auctions. There’s something special about searching through pages of items to find the perfect thing. While online auctions provide an excellent way to obtain high quality products, they can also help homeowners, renters, and business owners get the things you want and need without spending a lot of money.

Many people utilize online auctions to get the things they need for less. These auctions include a variety of home goods, electronics, toys, baby supplies, and office supplies. Bidding typically starts low and bidders pay nothing unless they win the auction. Because bidding takes place entirely online, bidders can view and place bids at anytime from any device that connects to the Internet.

Locate Nearby Auction Houses

Although larger auction companies exist, local auction houses provide the greatest value and convenience. Instead of waiting weeks to receive their winnings, bidders can pick-up their items immediately after the auction closes. This saves money on shipping and provides an opportunity for bidders to check their items before taking them home.

Register to Bid

Bidders should look for an auction company that does not charge a registration fee or annual fee to bid. This is important, as many auction companies that charge a fee do not provide a trial period. Bidders that do not participate in more than one auction may end up paying more on the registration fee than the actual item(s) they win.

Stick to a Budget

Once bidders have registered, they can begin searching for the items they want. It’s important that bidders decide how much they’re willing to spend on each item. Most online auction websites allow bidders to enter a maximum bid. The system automatically bids on their behalf up until this number. At that point, the bidder can decide to increase their maximum bid or let another bidder win the auction.

Stock Up on Office Supplies Through Online Auctions

By //  by 

Small business owners looking to obtain quality office furniture, office supplies, and office appliances could benefit from checking online auctions. Buying office supplies through online auction allows business owners to get the things they need at a fraction of their MSRP value. This frees up budgets and allows business owners to focus their spending on other important aspects of their business.

Convenient & Affordable Option

Because online auctions take place entirely online, business owners can bid before and after work. This is much more convenient than in-person auctions which require bidders to be present at a physical location for the duration of the auction. Many business owners appreciate the convenience and accessibility of online auctions.

Business owners can obtain a wide variety of office supplies from online auctions. In addition to small appliances, printers, coin sorters, and other items used on a daily basis, many online auctions include high end office furniture as well. Business owners are often surprised by the number of products they can get through online auction.

Looking for an Auction Company

While online auctions provide an exciting opportunity for business owners looking to move or upgrade their existing office, it’s important that buyers ensure they’re dealing with an experienced and respectable auction company. This is the best way to ensure the quality of items received.

Look for an online auction platform with daily auctions. It’s also important to check that people are actually bidding. Many auction companies require bidders to visit their location to pick-up their winnings. Business owners may want to contact the auction company prior to bidding to find out their policies and pick-up requirements. Calling the auction company also gives business owners a good idea about the type of company they’re working with. It’s important to find an auction company with good customer service.

Lots of Auctions offers name brand products through our online auctions. Bidders can choose from a wide range of categories and items. Our office supply auctions include a variety of office supplies, business machines, office furniture, and more.

How to Sell Through Online Auction

By //  by 

Many resellers choose to offer their products through online auctions. Online auctions allow resellers to reach a large number of people in a short amount of time. The popularity of online auctions makes them an excellent choice for resellers looking to increase their revenue. When done right, resellers stand to make a lot of money selling products through auction.

Sell What’s in Demand

Not all products sell well online. It’s important that resellers take some time to learn what their potential customers are actually buying. This might take some trial and error. Unique items, brand name products, electronics, and home furniture tend to sell very well online.

Ensure Accurate Listings

When listing products, it’s important that resellers provide accurate information about each item including the correct name and description for the product. Although some resellers provide lengthy descriptions for each item, it’s typically best to keep descriptions short. Resellers should include as much information in the title as possible. It’s also important to include high quality images that clearly show the product.

Partner with a Respected Online Auction Platform

Resellers have many options when it comes to where they list their products. Although large websites bring a lot of traffic, many resellers find it difficult to stand out above the competition. Thousands of resellers list on websites like eBay. It’s not uncommon for multiple resellers to offer the same product on these popular sites. Resellers that partner with a smaller auction company like Lots of Auctions increase the chance that visitors will see their products. This help increase sales and brand recognition with local consumers.

Using Online Auction Sites Safely

By //  by 

Online auction websites allow bidders to obtain high quality merchandise at deeply discounted prices. These sites also make it possible for sellers to list and sell their products. While these websites have become extremely popular in recent years, it’s important to make sure you use common sense and know how to use these sites safely.

Product Quality

Before bidding on anything, make sure you understand the risk involved. Popular platforms like eBay allow anyone to sign-up and list their products for sale. It’s not uncommon for sellers to list something different than what the buyer actually receives. Recently, eBay sellers got in trouble for selling an image of a PlayStation 5 instead of the actual product. Hopeful bidders paid hundreds of dollars for these photos.

When choosing an online auction platform to buy from, make sure they aren’t allowing just anyone to list products for sale. They should have an application process for sellers. They should also have a return policy in case the item(s) purchased don’t meet your expectations. Selecting a local auction company makes pick-up and returns much easier. You can often call these companies to ask questions before placing any bids.

Sharing Information

Whenever personal information is involved, it’s a good idea to make sure the company you’re dealing with is a respectable business. Check the auction company’s online presence. Do they have a website and social media pages? If you call the phone number listed for the business, can you speak to an actual person on the phone? These are important factors to consider before exchanging any financial information with the company.

Registration

Some online auction websites require bidders to pay an annual fee in order to bid. Unfortunately, many people do not know if they’ll want to bid in upcoming auctions. If bidders only participate in one auction throughout the year, they likely won’t get any value from their membership. In fact, it may end up costing them more than the actual items they purchase.

Look for an online auction company that offers free registration.
