Grays online (http://www.graysonline.com.au/sale.asp?SALE_ID=1640)

Having just done my dash at another of these auctions I can recomend them. If you've done your research you can get increadable bargains. If you haven't done your research you could end up with junk.
This one looks interestinh because most wuold be useable in a hobby / backyard environment.

:)
If you find this useful I wouldn't mind 8 or 10 of those sash clamps, or the linisher, or ......
;)

I am seriously thinking about taking the time of for the ones involving woodworking and timber goods just to get a feel for prices of course.

Imagine how much more money Graysonline would make if they had online auctions for all auctions.

I was always of the view it was a gold mine for some of their stock being liquidated if offered to more and in smaller lots.

Previously the auctions have been aimed at the professionals, and the like, hence the lot sizes.

But anyone could now buy the stock and offer on ebay or the like, could definitely make some money.

This happens on the US ebay site.

I'm no expert in this field but went to a couple of auctions to see what actually happens, and if you knew your stuff there was some easier money to be made.

But then how could I or most people off load 50 kitchen sinks or a hundred tonnes of timber?

But with ebay this can all change.

So now most of us have some chance of getting a few bargains.

I'm sure graysonline will adopt online auctions in the future.

Invest in transport companies this is the future.

Cheers
