Question ID: 73748
How would I go about finding all of the auctions that are on the
internet, other than ebay and some of the other major players.  Is
there one source that lists all of the auctions, including
liquidations on the 'Net?  I have a variety of products I manufacture
in the kitchen accessories/home beautification industry and would like
to start the process of rotating products through as many auctions as
possible on an ongoing basis.

Hi there!

Wow, are there ever a lot of online auction sites about!

As it happens, there isn't a single site to find all online auctions -
there are hundreds!  Since many of these overlap immensely, I've
collected a sampling which should cover the auctions you'd be most
interested in.

Internet Auction List offers a directory for nearly 70 online auction
venues worldwide:

Internet Auction List - Online Auction Listings
http://www.internetauctionlist.com/Results.asp?CategoryID=13&LocationID=0

The list does include "major players" such as eBay, Amazon Auctions,
Lycos Auctions and MSN Auctions, but ignores sites such as uBid.com
and Yahoo! auctions.  The parent site, Internet Auction List, also
offers free auction listing and auction resources.

Additionally, they cite Liquidation.com as the "auction company of the
month":

Liquidation.com
http://www.liquidation.com

Searching further uncovered another (very tiny) directory of online
auction sites:

iNetListing - Online Auctions
http://www.inetlisting.com/cgi-bin/netlink/netlink.cgi?category=auction1&listtype=current

(The first three will probably not be of interest to you, but the last
five are general auction sites likey more suited to your needs.)

The Online Auctions Network claims to have a complete listing of all
auction sites, broken down by category.  The site also offers a real
time, simultaneous search of current listings at eBay, Yahoo and
Amazon.  A cursory review of the directory shows hundreds of auction
sites scattered across two dozen categories.  Select the category your
product belongs in, and you're off!  One caveat - break out the
shades.  This site is a little hard on the eyes, but *is* packed with
auction sites I've never ever heard of.

The Online Auctions Network
http://www.online-auctions.net/index.html

Auctions On The Net offers 405 links to auction sites, broken down
into 23 categories, including liquidations:

Auctions On The Net

Auction Patrol's directory also links to many online auction sites -
some 500 or so, according to their homepage:

Auction Patrol Online Auction Directory
http://www.auctionpatrol.com/index.html

WorldHot.com lists their favorite ("world's hottest") online auction
sites - 100 of them:

World's Hottest 100 Auction Web Sites
http://www.worldhot.com/shopping/auction/

For more auction site listings, Google Directory lists two dozen
auction search engines to help you find exactly the category and site
you need:

Google Directory:  Shopping > Auctions > Search Engines
http://directory.google.com/Top/Shopping/Auctions/Search_Engines/

Good luck!
