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 higest 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.

How to find public auctions to buy unclaimed/unpaid for storage units in the Conroe/Houston, Tx area?
Q. We are looking to purchase storage units (unclaimed/unpaid) at auctions in the Conroe/Houston area and try to turn a profit by selling the items. Is there a good website to use in locating these? First time experience so any help getting started is MUCH appreciated!

A. In my area, the storage unit places are required to run an advertisement in the newspaper that they unit is going to be put up for auction. I've been to a few, mostly clothes and other people's junk.

How should I deal with a broker who sells cars bought from auctions?
Q. A close friend of mine said he would like to introduce me to a local garage that sells cars bought from auctions. (I suppose the correct term to use is "a broker"). Apparently, cars sold this way can be reasonably cheap, and the broker in question also owns a garage that can repair the cars when necessary. As this is a close friend, I don't want to refuse, saying I'll meet the broker, although I don't really know how honest the broker is. Do you have any advice?

A. Buy an extended warranty from a third party and consider that part of the purchase price. If the two add up to more than you are willing to spend, then it is not a good deal. Insist on a carfax report that shows all inscurance claims made for the VIN of the vehicle. Cars bought at auction could have serious frame damage, water or smoke damage too. Great that the guy can fix the cars, but unless you get something in writing that says he will do it for free it doesn't mean a thing. EDIT: He is a middle man, you can pay a small fee and buy a car at an auction and eliminate the middle man mark up if you want to do your homework. Either way inquire about an extended warranty first and call that part of the 'price'.

What is the best way to get eBayers to submit their auctions to me for free advertising?
Q. Our site AuctionGab.net currently has more than 500 eBay members that use our free services. We advertise their auctions for free. But are now looking for more eBayers to submit their auctions to us for free advertising. I have been trying to spread the word on free auction advertising through Yahoo Groups, but am relatively new to this. Suggestions? Thanks! Gabber

A. Why don't you set-up an e-bay store or somthing and "sell" your services there. It can be as low as a penny, but if you want eBayers, go to eBay.
