I was reading a post by one of the auctioneers I use and found a new auction site, http://biddersnetwork.com/index.php Not many auctions on there yet, but I like looking and ....sourcing new inventory for eBay and Addoway.
As I was browsing the current auctions on www.auctionzip.com I came across an auction for vintage clothing which I don't see very often. Now I hear that vintage clothing sells fairly well, so if you sell clothing, you may want to check out the on line auction listings for sourcing new inventory.

The Auction Junkies Adventures/ Auctions...For Fun and Profit
WelcomeTo My Page!
- I'm a wife, mom, mom in law and a grandmother whose love of auctions span 38 years. As a young married couple on a budget, auctions furnished our home and are a source for the various birthday and holiday gifts. They were, and still are, a fun way to meet others who share the same passion for them as we do.
- The internet has opened up a whole new world for auction lovers of all types. Imagine being able to attend a Live auction from the comfort of your home! I will be sharing my experience with both live in person and internet auctions and how I use them to source vintage items for our eBay business...Desert Sun Collectibles. Enjoy!

I'm Just Looking....
at least that's what I kept telling myself after logging on to my favorite auction website tonight. I should have stayed on Pogo and finished my puzzle game, but no, I'm an auction junkie and I needed and had to have, my fix.
As I'm scrolling down the listing page, one picture jumps out at me...ohhhh, that's nice....click! The large picture here is even better, but I'm "just looking", I don't need anymore stuff and I kept scrolling down the page. I went back and looked at a few more auctions and yep, found a few more things I liked, but...
I couldn't get that pretty picture out of my head, along with the other stuff I'd seen. Okay, so what if I bid low, get them and put them in my store on eBay? I did some quick researching and number crunching and yep...I bid on 11 items and I was "just looking"!
So what are you addicted to?

Champagne Auctions On A Beer Pocketbook...Part 1
It never ceases to absolutely amaze me that there are bargains to be found and brought home for pennies on the dollar even at a high end auction! By "High End", I mean that there are beautiful antiques that you just look at and drool, thinking; "I sure wish I had a champagne budget about now"!
Whether you love antique furniture, pictures and what nots, you're bound to find something that either there is very little interest in or no one wants it..period that you can bid on and win for a song! We sell vintage glassware, pottery and porcelain, along with collectibles on eBay and this is what we look for. Here are some recent examples... As you can see, the vase cost more, but had a great rate of return, but, the same goes for the pair of elephant figurines...low cost, high rate of return.
