The A-Z of Fundraising Ideas For Sports Tours

September 1st, 2010 by admin

Participating in a sports tour can be costly depending on the destination, mode of travel and the inevitable social activities. For that reason it never hurts to bring the cost of a sports tour down a little more to ensure that money is not an issue for any team member. Fundraising can also be a great teambuilding exercise because everyone in your sports club is working together to raise money for your sports tour.

Government Auctions and Police Auctions Sites – Homes For Under $5K and Cars Under $2K

August 22nd, 2010 by admin

Many citizens are unaware of the large volume of seized property that ends up with law enforcement custody. This is not just on a local level, but state and federal also. This is property that has been repossessed, lost, abandoned or seized from criminals. Government auctions and police auctions are scheduled when there is a large volume of merchandise available. These kinds of auctions are known as impound auctions.

There are two main reasons law enforcement agencies hold auctions. One reason is to free up space in the storage areas. The other is to raise money that is put back into the department or put towards a specific project. There are several different types of government and police auctions you may come across:

Impounds and Forfeitures:

These are the auctions you want to attend if you are looking for bargains on big ticket merchandise. This might include automobiles, watercraft, private planes and sometimes real estate. These types of items are usually confiscated as part of a large drug arrest where it was obvious that the property was purchased with the money made from the manufacture and/or sale of illegal drugs.

The first thing you should know is that the items sold at these auctions go as they are. This is not as cut and dried as a car with a bullet hole in it. This could mean that you will be stuck with liens to pay off before you are deemed the owner of the merchandise. For example, if you bought a vehicle at a police auction that had loan payments due you would be responsible for those payments.

While it is definitely possible to score huge discounts on fabulous items at these auctions, it is important to make sure you know what you’re getting into before bidding.

Abandoned and Unclaimed Items:

These are government and police auctions where lost items are sold. This is merchandise that was turned into the police station and never claimed. While the police will attempt to locate the owner, if they cannot and no one comes forward to claim the lost item it is put up for auction. There are all kinds of items you might find such as handbags, jewelry, electronics and more.

How Police Auctions are Held:

Although rules and regulations vary from place to place, usually there will be a published notice listing the items up for auction as well as the date, time and place the auction will be held. At some auctions, you are required to sign up ahead of time. At others, pre-registration is not a requirement. At most all auctions, there is time to check out the merchandise before bidding starts.

The Lowdown on Government Auctions:

Like police auctions, you can find super deals on expensive merchandise. However, government auctions are often not as widely publicized as local police auctions, so you may have to do some digging. It is worth the time and effort to learn the ropes of these public auctions because you can actually make money.

For example, you could buy a luxury car for several hundred dollars when it is worth tens of thousands. Then you could turn around and sell it for more than you paid, putting a tidy profit in your pocket. This might also apply to jewelry, designer handbags, designer clothing, private jets…you wouldn’t believe the variety available at some of these auctions.

Always set a limit for yourself before attending either police auctions or government auctions. The reason for this is that it is very easy to get lost in the excitement and overpay for an item just because the bidding was heated.

To find reviews of the top Government Auction sites that have listings for real estate (including distressed home sales and foreclosures), cars and most any kind of merchandise check out government auctions reviews. If interested more in vehicles only click police auctions.

5 Responsible Bidding Strategies For Penny Auction Sites

August 19th, 2010 by admin

But the reality is that actually, when it comes to the most popular products on these sites, they are paid for up to 4 times just by the amount of money generated by those placing the bids.

Yes, each bid only pushes up the cost of the item by a penny, but bidders must accept and understand that placing each bid costs them anything from a few pence to a few pounds or dollars every single time they join in the bidding process.

If you really like the thought of being able to compete and potentially ‘win’ a bargain but you want to avoid the risk of addiction to the gambling nature of these sites, here are 5 responsible bidding strategies to adopt for penny auction websites: -

1) Take enforced, regular and prolonged breaks between cycles of bidding. Set an alarm clock if necessary, and force yourself to physically walk away from the computer, or close your access to the penny auction website. Do not take the attitude that you’ll stop when you’ve just seen this one item through to the end – make yourself regularly stop bidding, stop following an auction and walk away and do something else altogether.

2) Set yourself a very strict budget and never extend it. Whether yours is a daily, weekly or monthly budget, once you have reached its limit discontinue bidding. No arguments.

3) Think about an item carefully before you begin bidding on it. Do you really want or need the item in question, if so, how much are you prepared to spend on it. Factor in not only each penny bid you’re willing to make, but the cost of making each bid. Work out how much you are willing to spend on a given item and stick to your limits. If the item for sale goes over your allotted budget, walk away.

4) Only enter an auction when you are sober and awake, in a clear and positive frame of mind. In other words, if anything is clouding your judgement – from stress at home or work to alcohol or medication – do not enter the penny auction.

5) Concentrate carefully on what you are doing and where your bids are taking you. Some sites allow you to set up an automatic bidding filter so that you can carry on bidding for something even when you’re not concentrating on the auction. Such filters are dangerous and you must always ensure you are in control of your bidding.

Motorhomes For Sale At Auction

August 13th, 2010 by admin

A seized auction or a police auction can be one of the best places to get a great bargain on a good motorhome. This type of auction is just like any other auction except for the vehicles on offer have all been repossessed for one reason or another. Some through have been seized for non-payment and others as part of bankruptcy repossessions. Most of the vehicles available at these auctions are not that old and seem to have really low mileage and are more often than not in good condition.

One of the great things about these auctions is that the opening bids are usually really low and some incredible bargains can be had. Occasionally the bidding does get carried away and care must be taken not to get pulled into bidding over the odds for what started out as an apparent bargain.

When buying from one of these auctions the first thing to do is to have a thorough look over the vehicle. Take a mechanic with you if you can to check over the engine and the driving side of things. Make sure that everything inside the motorhome works, check out the heating, air conditioning, refrigerator, stove etc. Make sure that all of the lockers and doors both inside and outside the vehicle are working. Check for damp patches in the ceilings in the corners and behind the units and at the back of the lockers. Also check for damp around the carpets near the kitchen area and in the bathroom. In short, give the motorhome a thorough looking over whilst making notes as you go of everything that doesn’t work or that needs attention or replacement.

The best way to put a price on a motorhome is to find a similar model with similar fittings. You now need to work out an approximate value for the motorhome. You will not be able to use the ‘blue book’ or ‘Nada’ prices as accurate guides due to the fact that these only take into account the vehicle model, age, mileage and overall condition. They do not take into account the fittings and fixtures included nor the overall condition of the living areas. To be able to price a motorhome effectively you need to study the prices of similar models for sale in the local press or in the specialized motorhome press.

Once you have an idea how much the motorhome you want to bid on is worth you can work out your maximum bid. check the notes you made earlier and work out how much it would cost to put right the problems you have noted down. Add to the price the auctioneers fees and commissions which are normally about 10%. This will give you your top price for bidding. Any bid over that price you might and you will be paying over the odds for the vehicle.

More often than not there are many other vehicles at the auction and the auctioneers will be trying to get through as many as possible in the one day. for this reason they tend to make the starting bids very low. With a bit o luck you can take advantage of this as there will be few people attending who are in the market for motorhomes. This means that you should be able to get the motorhome of your choice for only a fraction of the price you have calculated as its value. At times however you will find that the price becomes elevated by inexperienced and over zealous bidders. If this happens you should simply back out and wait for the next vehicle or the next auction. Try not to become tempted and sucked into a bidding war once your upper bidding limit has been surpassed.

You can find seized auctions and police auctions which are held regularly at many locations all over the country. To find out the details you can get access to a regularly updated database which holds the places where the auctions will be held along with a list of the vehicles that will be on offer. The Seized Vehicle Auctions web site and the

Auction Pass web site are two reputable sites where you can get access to these databases.
