10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU BID ON A
BUSINESS PRODU
by: larry dotson
1. know the value of the product before you bid.
IF
the product is brand new, check to see what
price
RETAILERS ARE CHARGING FOR IT. IF THE PRODUCT IS
used or
reconditioned, you will want to pay way less
THAN THE
retail value.

2. IF THE PRODUCT'S DESCRIPTION OR PICTURE ISN'T
detailed
enough for you, contact the merchant to get more
INFORMATION BEFORE YOU BID. YOU DON'T WANT TO
take a
chance to waste your hard earned money.

3. know the highest price you will bid for the
product
AND STICK WITH IT. DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN A
bidding war;
you may end up paying more than the product's
WORTH.
don't forget to add in the shipping price with
your bid.

4. visit a few online auctions before bidding
because
SOME MERCHANTS AUCTION THE SAME PRODUCT IN MANY
auctions. you usually can purchase the product
for
A LOWER PRICE IN A UNPOPULAR AUCTION BECAUSE
there
are less bidders.

5. know the time the auction begins and ends.
you
ALSO WANT TO KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO SHIP.
if
you need the product by a certain date, you'll
WANT
to estimate the time it will take to receive it.

6. KNOW THE PAYMENT OPTIONS THE MERCHANT ACCEPTS
before you bid on their product. if they only
accept
CHECKS OR MONEY ORDERS, IT MAY TAKE EVEN LONGER
to
get the product because the payment has to
CLEAR. IF
they accept credit cards make sure they have a
secure
SERVER.

7. know if the merchant offers a warranty or
MONEY
back guarantee or before bidding on a product.
you
DON'T WANT TO GET STUCK WITH A PRODUCT THAT DOES
not
work or you're not satisfied with.

8. online auctions will, sometimes, allow you to
check
THE MERCHANTS HISTORY WITH THEIR AUCTION. CHECK
to see
if people have complained about the their
PRODUCTS OR
business practices before you decide to bid.

9. IT'S IMPORTANT TO PLACE A BID EARLY IN THE
auction to
show other bidders you are interested in the
PRODUCT.
if someone does out bid you, don't be afraid to
out
BID THEM. REMEMBER NOT TO GO OVER YOUR MAXIMUM
bid price.

10. ANOTHER REASON TO KNOW WHEN THE AUCTION
ends;
you can place a last minute bid. the other
BIDDERS
may not be keeping track of when the auction
ends
OR MAY NOT HAVE THE TIME TO BID AGAIN.
