What Is A Person To Do??

Over the past few months I have tirelessly worked my fingers to the bones inviting people to list items they have for sale on a fairly new auction site

called Insider Auctions. Do I have your sympathy yet?? Lots of people are visiting the site to which I am very grateful; however, virtually NO ONE is listing.

Hey, the listings are FREE, not only the basic listings but all the optional features as well – Hello! In these economic times what can be better than a place to try to sell our “stuff” for money where the listings don’t cost anything. I don’t understand. Is it because the site is new? Is it because the listings are Free and people don’t associate a value to something that is Free? Is it because people prefer to pay the listing fees of eBay regardless of whether or not the item sells?

My fingers are bleeding, someone Please help me out here. What does it take? Please visit the site http://www.insiderauctions.com/ and send me your comments and suggestions. I look forward to hearing from you.

Coast Guard Auctions Off Lighthouses

In this day and time people auction off almost anything. Today I read an article in the USA Today about a man who had won an online auction for the Thimble Shoal Lighthouse near Fort Monroe, VA. It sold for $65,000.

It seems that the modern vessels have more advanced technology and have made the lighthouses obsolete. I know at one time lots of people were avid collectors of Harbour Lights and tried desperately to not only buy all the lighthouses but to visit all of them as well. I have been to several and have really loved seeing this piece of history but I never thought about buying one.

According to the article an amendment to the National Historic Preservation Act in 2000 made it possible for the Coast Guard to auction off the lighthouses if they could not find a state, city or non-profit organization willing to take over ownership and upkeep. Since that time the Coast Guard has been able to giveaway and auction 41 lighthouses and has plans for disposing of a dozen or so more this year.

As part of the amendment, lighthouses have to made available first to state and local governments or non-profit organizations for free. If no one is interested or willing to take them over for free, then the Coast Guard is free to auction them. One man in the article was quoted saying “It’s kind of an interesting real estate dynamic, We can’t give it away, so we sell it.”

Whether you are in the market for a “real” lighthouse or a replica such as the ones made by Harbour Lights, it appears auctions are the place to look. If you are not in the market for the “real thing”, we have replicas listed at http://www.insiderauctions.com/.

This is a picture of the Harbour Lights Middle Bay, Alabama lighthouse. It is a limited edition and is a beautiful replica of the real lighthouse.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t figure out why there is a bull on the deck or how it got there. If you know the answer will you please enlighten me.

The Harbour Lights Middle Bay Lighthouse is currently listed on Insider Auctions (http://www.insiderauctions.com/). To place a bid click on the following link. http://www.insiderauctions.com/auction_details.php?name=Middle-Bay-Alabama-Lighthouse&auction_id=2576
