I use Timbercreek Software's SOLD http://www.timbercreeksoftware.com/ and I find it very easy to use and provides me with everything I need in managing all my auctions. \n\nI love its capability to run customized reports (especially during tax time), manage the auctions, manage my customer database, and make ebay listing and relisting a breeze (the fact that I don't have to pay to schedule listings is already a lot of help). Support is also very good. I've used it since 3 years ago, and I am totally hooked to it.

I'd suggest an auction site like eBay.

Check out http://www.bidmain.com/.\n\nThe "awards" section shows all of the winning bidders and the amount awarded. You need to join the site, but they offer a free one week trial.

The ethos behind freecycle is giving away unwanted items, so this might not be what you are looking for.\n\nOn the origional question, the problem with alternative auction sites is that they have significantly less users, so your items are less likely to sell.

First, as fantastic as craigslist.org is, it does not have auction any auctions--it does have collectibles for sale that can be had for much less than if you went to buy them on eBay, but you have to know your prices and as always, caveat emptor!!\n\nPersonally I check Yahoo auctions "when I think about it", but the selection in the categories I look for are usually lacking. eBay (love it or hate it) is the best game in town for drawing a crowd.\n\nMeanwhile, read the Forbes Magazine article about eBay...(link below) HUGE article---only gave you a few paragraphs...\n\n...."you're probably not one of the 16 million people who do business regularly on eBay, where approximately $14 million changes hands every day and 18 million new listings are posted each month. EBay is often gushingly described by fans, many of whom are self-described addicts, as the ultimate frictionless marketplace. Following in eBay's wake, auction sites of all sorts have proliferated. Enthusiasts consider them the Web's killer application, one that breaks down geographic, logistical, and informational barriers to the point where buying and selling become acts of economic purity. Well, that's one way of looking at it. Here's another: Ebay and its like are a free-for-all for con artists, sleazeballs, shady operators, and outright thieves.\n\nWhy shouldn't it be? As is true of much of the Web, the characteristics that make auction sites so appealing—anonymity, speed, low overhead, access to millions of people, lack of outside regulation, an ability to interact from a great distance—are the very same characteristics that make rip-offs so easy.

I will give you the name of a CD-rom that I have that will help you create a website and it will also help you monitor your auctions.  If you would like more information on this you can go to http://www.AuctionTeacher.com

look for a company called Hard Dollar in Tempe Arizona.  The software is far from cheap but they might give you a trial time.
