Some quick tips I recommend.First 2-3 auctions...go to watch and observe.

Quote from @Jonathan Bock: They can be fun but also time wasters as well I have only personally bought off auction.com Jonathan - do you have any tips on how to get started?

Do you have any tips on that?

This is like me saying I am not yet a millionaire but I am sure I will become one...or I have not yet ran the Boston Marathon but I am sure I can finish it...One tip I picked up a while ago from people that have actually achieved what I want to achieve is that if you have not done it then you do not know it.

I greatly appreciate your tips.
