Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An auction is a process of buying and selling goods or services by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the highest bidder. In economic theory, an auction may refer to any mechanism or set of trading rules for exchange. There are several variations on the basic auction form, including time limits, minimum or maximum limits on bid prices, and special rules for determining the winning bidder(s) and sale price(s). Participants in an auction may or may not know the identities or actions of other participants. Depending on the auction, bidders may participate in person or remotely through a variety of means, including telephone and the internet. The seller usually pays a commission to the auctioneer or auction company based on a percentage of the final sale price. From Wikipedia under the

Find a charity to donate the money to, and make some posters. Get a bunch of guys and girls to donate a date for charity... and then let the bidding begin. It will be fun, and maybe you will get a bidding war going for yourself??? For even more fun, see if a teacher who is cool will be the auctioneer. Good luck bro!

I am a new manager for a moving and storage company. Some accounts have not paid in several months. I know we need to send them a certified letter and then post an add for the auction but where can I find out EXACTLY what we need to do, legally speaking? Asked by Eric S - Mon Dec 15 17:56:54 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Every state has a specific law on this topic. Luckily for you, most legislatures spell out exactly how a storage company can do this without liability. Go to your state legislature's web page and look up the revised statutes. Go to the index and look up "storage" or "bailment". These terms should put you in the correct section of the statutes to get started. And if I can also suggest, why not hire a lawyer to draft you an opinion letter that lays out the process for you? That way, you know that if you follow the steps in the letter, that you'll be OK. And, if the lawyer messes up the process he provides in the letter, you have a cause of action against him for malpractice - pretty good insurance that he gives you accurate… [cont.] Answered by Specific - Mon Dec 15 18:02:40 2008 How much capital to start an online auction site?
Q. How much capital do I need to start my online auction site, I have a very niche market (Don't want to say it) and I think I could do it all by myself, if not just paying for someone to make the code for the auction and then being done with it.
