Auctions are a fun way to learn, start a new business, or engage in a new hobby…and people watch.
Beware of on-line auctions where you have to buy bids up front or the bidding takes place in small increments. And, check out on-line auctions carefully before you provide a credit card. Know who you are dealing with before you enter an on-line auction. In-person auctions are a good way to start and fun.
There are many types of auctions:
- Antiques and Household Goods Auctions
- Police Auctions (check with your local community)
- Real Estate Auctions
- Treasury Auctions (items forfeited as the result of federal or IRS actions)
- Insurance Auto Auctions

- Storage Auctions (you’ve seen these on TV- check your local area)
- Equipment Auctions

- Art &Painting Auctions (Chrisies.com)
