"Auctions are the Ultimate Marketplace for both the buyer and the
seller. The buyer can purchase items they might not normally find - at their price.
The seller has the benefits of of an intensive advertising campaign and selling
their items in a competitive situation without the hassles of handling each individual
sale themselves." ~ Tricia D. Wiltjer
