As I write this, there are currently 7307 auctions listed in the OLA Rummage Sale.  Some people have continued listing items to end on May 8, 2008, even knowing that they would not have the exposure gained by items that were listed earlier in the week.

New items keep appearing, and there are still a huge variety of items without bids [at this time].  Don’t miss out on the opportunity to grab a great item for a steal!!!!  Whether you are looking for home decor, computer parts, electronic gadgets and games, pet items, housewares, clothing ~ the list really does go on and on ~ there is something in the OLA Rummage Sale for everyone!

A number of new members have introduced themselves in our chat rooms ~ and everyone is welcomed warmly!!  Many new members have questions, and the members of OLA are always there to answer and help out as much as possible.  And let’s not forget the unheard of warmth of the OLA Customer Service department, which is literally only a phone call away!

The rummage sale is slowly coming to a close, but the excitement of the participating members is still evident.  Many are speculating on how many bids their items will actually receive, everyone seems thrilled with the number of new members who are coming into the chat rooms. 

Will the OLA Rummage Sale be a success?  I think that it already has been a tremendous success.  It has brought the members of OLA together for a common goal, something that is not found on other auction websites.  The unity is felt and seen in the chat rooms, and no one can argue all that the OLA staff have also done to make this sale a success, from making a new category to adding a link on the home page. 

And lets not forget OLA’s donation of the Dell Laptop Computers to the sale!  All proceeds will be donated to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital!

 

Yesterday was a huge day for OnlineAuction members!  With over 300 sellers participating in the Huge Rummage Sale Event, a total of  6600  items can now be found listed in OLA’s Rummage Sale Category. 

 

Buyers and sellers wasted no time in searching through the many listings for items that they just couldn’t live without!  Many items already have numerous bids, only a day into the sell.  Many more items are yet to be discovered as members “rummage” through the many listings.

 

At the sale, you are sure to find items that you wouldn’t even think of, items of great value, even that one item that you have been looking for with no luck ~~ until now!!!!

 

As the weekend approached, many sellers are anticipating a huge influx of activity.  Regardless of the outcome, sellers who have spent their time and efforts organizing this event are STILL HAVING FUN as the event unfolds.

 

Keep watch, there is already talk amongst sellers as to what their next event might be.

I want to take a moment to introduce you to the revolutionary online auction website that is sure to change the way people think of online auctions.

 

I joined www.onlineauction.com in December 2007, and became a seller in January 2008.  At that time, I stopped listing items for sale on other auction venues completely.  Not only will you find nice, friendly people who share your interest and become your friends, but the support there is unbelievable, from other members and the staff of OLA.  

 

For me, the ever changing policies of Ebay coupled with the steady increases in fees made the decision to list on OLA an easy decision to make.  Membership is constantly growing in numbers, and there are always new people coming into the chat rooms to say hello!

 

Take a minute to review the following break-down of charges and what you can expect from joining OLA [adapted by a post written by member BeverlyJ] and then Come Join The Fun!!!
