Well, we're pretty much into the heart of the auction season. The number, and quality of the auctions has picked up over the past month. It seems that auction prices have relaxed a little over the course of the Spring, we here at HOA have seen some outstanding buying opportunities for some quality material. We all know the economy, especially in the formerly industrial part of the country, is hurting. In spite of everything, we think this is still America...given some time, things should bounce back. This could very well be one of those times when we'll be looking back and saying I should have bought back then. Those of you who are regular auction-goers-- you know value when you see it. Don't hesitate, now is the time to get out and buy.

Hey you auctioneers out there...the newspapers are really hurting due to a drastic decline in readership. For your auction advertising, guess where auction-goers are looking? Go ahead, guess! Mmmmyup, our activity is way up from a year ago. Our users like the convenience of viewing the photos you load, using the link to get a map, emailing auctions to their friends, and for those of you auctioneers who have your own web page, they like using the link we provide to YOUR website. That old newspaper ad would typically cost you hundreds. Here at HOA, you can list an auction for a full WEEK for as little as $24.95 (a little more for photos). And as we've done since Day One, we always give you a free listing after 5 paid auctions. If you do Charity Auctions, there's no charge, ever! Just contact us before you plan to list it. Aren't YOUR auctions worth putting on HOA???
