Online auctions can be fun and lucrative
When the Internet became popular in the mid-1990s, one of the
first things users realized was its business potential. If you
can do business in a store or through a catalog, why not through
a Web site? And soon online auctions were born.
Online auctions work essentially the same way as regular
auctions. A seller places an item up for bids, and interested
parties take turns naming the price they'd pay for it, until
finally the highest bidder wins and must purchase the item for
the last price he named. On the Internet, a time limit is
usually imposed; for example, the highest bid received after
three days is the winner.
EBay, founded in 1995, soon became the world's largest site for
auctions. Most other sites for auctions on the Internet that
operate under the same kind of system as eBay have found
themselves unable to compete with eBay's size. As a result, eBay
is still the leader in that marketplace. However, sites that
operate differently -- using reverse auctions, for example --
offer a vastly
different service from eBay and thus are able to
stake a claim for themselves in cyberspace.
All online auctions allow the buyers the convenience of bidding
from the comfort of home. Bidding, buying and selling can be fun
and exciting, too. The thrill of placing a bid on an item and
learning you've won the auction can't be beat -- especially if
you wind up paying less for the item than you'd planned on!
No matter what you're looking for -- ordinary merchandise or
obscure one-of-a-kind items -- there are bound to be Internet
auctions selling it. With a little bit of savvy and common
sense, you can find what you want and pay a fair price for it,
all without ever leaving your home.
