On the web, content is king. Far more important than glitzy

This month's Duck Feather
Tried an online auction lately? They're actually pretty neat,
with
items of all sorts flying hither and yon.
Try Onsale (http://www.onsale.com)
for
computer and electronics gear, or places like Auction Universe
(http://www.auctionuniverse.com)
and EBay (http://www.ebay.com) for a
smattering of many different types of goods.
What, you want more computer stuff? Try uBid
(http://www.ubid.com), DTP Auction
(http://www.dtpauction.com)
and Z
Auction (http://www.zauction.com).
Just remember, high bid wins and buyer beware.
