Sell :: Live Online Auction Site

Do you make handmade items? Are you looking for a new way to sell them? Why not try tophatter. It is a live auction site. You list your item and people bid on it. You can set your own starting price and shipping. Tophatter takes a 10% fee or at least a dollar for each "lot" or item listed. It is fun to watch the items sell as well as to see the variety of items offered. There are different categories you can sell in. What a great way to see if your item is desireable, or to clear out leftover materials or to clear out your etsy or artfire stash. [link]
