Online auctions take the intimidation out of attending a live auction.
There is no checking the auction date, driving to the site, parking, lining up to register, and going through the stress of live bidding against others, where prices change in response to customers' whims and actions. Just about anything can be found at auctions on the Web. And there are now over 250 major auction sites out there, compared to none just three years ago. The Web provides an ideal vehicle for them. You have interested buyers, motivated sellers, and the convenience of an interactive medium where you can shop world-wide from home.
