"The Auction vs Tag
Sales"
A Comparison
Auction Hazards
- You don't know what the auction will bring until its all over with.
- Auction are lengthy, potential buyer's don't stay long enough to bid on
what they wanted
- Possible that only 50 bidders will show up, and some of them just sightseers.
- Competition from other auctions running at same time and date.
- Auctioneer commissions paid by both seller and frequently buyers (buyer
fees)
- Valuable items often used to sell less desirable things (Look Martha! to
get me to buy that $10 box of junk, the dude threw in this really neat vase.)
- All the items that buyers didn't want gets left behind in the yard for the
owners to clean up.

No waiting with prepriced merchandise or hanging around till

Items are available for sale for up to three days, no rain
outs, buyers can even come back to buy more later, many do.

No added charges, even clean-up is included .
