Auction Tip #4

Tip #4 Do Your Homework.  I don’t mean to sound like your teacher or parent, but doing your homework is important.  It is especially important to having a great time at an auction.  Doing your homework includes looking at the advertisements for the auction you are interested in attending and checking out the website of the auction company and their company profile on social networking sites.  Looking at the advertisements and websites for auctions can tell you a lot of helpful information, but the important thing to take note of for this tip is the list and pictures of items that will be up for auction.

 Do your homework and figure out what types of things will be sold at the auction you are going to attend.  Then make a mental note of items you love so you can keep your eye out for them and make sure you get a chance to bid on them, and if your price is right and luck is on your side, you’ll be able to take it home.  Making this mental shopping list better prepares you for auctions, because they can get busy and crowded and make it difficult to get a good look at items that will be sold before the selling begins, especially when the auction has a lot of items up for sale.
