An Idea For Selling On eBay

Want to buy products on the cheap without importing or using drop shippers? Try Unique Auction! UniqueAuction.com in mid-March plans to auction off 10 Sony PlayStation 3 game consoles. The game console, which should retail between $400 and $700, will sell on the auction site to the highest unique bidder for less than one percent of the suggested retail price. Each of the 10 auctions will last one hour. Strategy is important. A Platinum Membership eliminates the guess work by allowing people to select a price and then defend that price by bidding on other people's bids. This option turns the auction into a strategic game and allows people to use many different methods to win.

The site auctions off everything from Apple Computer video iPods, to Nissan 350Z cars, to Hawaiian wedding and vacation pack. Register now and develop your strategy so you're ready when the Sony PS3 come up for bidding in a few weeks.
