<strong>Make</strong> Your Net <strong>Auction</strong> Sell!<br />

may be in for a real shock. There is an insertion fee for all 5,000 <strong>of</strong> them -whether<br />

you sell them or not!<br />

Dutch auction is definitely a power strategy but one to use prudently. If it<br />

sounds intimidating, don’t worry about it. As you gain more and more auction<br />

experience, your comfort level will rise and you will become more<br />

experimental. Personally, my largest Dutch auction was for 150 items. But I<br />

am very careful.<br />

Key learning point... TEST, TEST, TEST!<br />

3) Reverse Dutch <strong>Auction</strong>s<br />

Reverse Dutch auctions are sometimes found at specialty sites, but they are<br />

not very popular. In a reverse auction, the price begins dropping at specified<br />

intervals. The buyer’s job is to figure out when the price is acceptably low.<br />

Wait too long and someone else will buy the widget.<br />

It is similar to a Dutch auction, however, in that everybody will buy at the lowest<br />

price. However, you had better be willing to pay whatever you have bid. Be<br />

sure <strong>of</strong> your bid -- don’t hope or expect the price to drop because it may not.<br />

So far, this doesn’t seem to be an especially popular format. I have yet to talk<br />

to anyone who has participated in such an auction.<br />

4) Restricted <strong>Auction</strong>s<br />

Restricted auctions are usually for “adult” auctions. To even look at the items in<br />

restricted auctions, the site requires credit card information which means the<br />

browser must be 18 years old. (This is the Internet auction equivalent <strong>of</strong><br />

putting “Penthouse” magazine in plain brown wrappers behind the counter.)<br />

5) Private <strong>Auction</strong>s<br />

In a regular auction, the identity <strong>of</strong> the bidders is available for all to know. In a<br />

private auction, this isn’t the case. There are usually two reasons for a private<br />

auction...<br />

1) If the item is very expensive, the bidders may not want the world to know<br />

that they can afford a Van Gogh.<br />
