The Web is the ultimate free market, and nowhere is this more evident than in the booming popularity of auction sites, where buyers and sellers meet in an unfettered exchange. Here's the latest from one of the hottest auction sites, as well as new auction software for your own site. If you're looking to sell or buy excess, new, or used computers and computer products online, you may want to visit FairMarket 's auction site . All users can register for free and receive a personal My Account page for tracking their sales or purchases.
Buyers can browse category listings or search for specific products before placing bids.
During an auction, buyers are automatically notified via e-mail if their bids have been topped, giving them the opportunity to raise them as needed. At the end of an auction, FairMarket notifies the seller and winning bidder and puts them in touch with each other to work out transaction details.

Emaze Auction features optional auto-bid, which allows bidders to determine the maximum price they are willing to spend and then automatically raises their bids during an auction up to that maximum. Also featured is automatic e-mail, which notifies bidders whether they've won or lost a completed auction.
