“Dollar Per Item” Internet Auction

“Dollar Per Item” Internet Auction COMPUTERS Fed up with high fees on internet auction sites like eBay Kevin Somers and Steve Schuchter started their own TractorAuctions com participants pay just $10 up front which allows you to sell up to 10 items “A lot of guys are trying to earn extra income with tractors and parts ” says Schuchter “eBay charges a final value fee of 10 percent and others also charge fees We wanted to make it simple easy and as cheap as possible without policing ” He notes that selling on other sites can also be more complicated “On our site auction credits don’t expire and if an item doesn’t sell or if there is a reserve on it and the bids don’t reach it the item can be relisted once without cost ” explains Schuchter He says the concept was well received when they shared it with exhibitors at tractor shows this past summer “One guy got down on his knees and thanked me ” says Schuchter “Now we are trying to spread the word ” TractorAuctions com has more than 100 auctions up and running Schuchter acknowledges that eBay has around 300 000 tractor-related items being auctioned off at any one time “If we could get 10 percent of that we’d be happy ” he says Contact: FARM SHOW Followup TractorAuctions com LLC P O Box 104 Alexandria Ky 41001 ph 859 592-1840; steve@tractorauctions com; www tractorauctions com
