All the books at the auctions will be sold on an 'as-is' basis, which basically means what you see is what you get. Auction houses also charge a Buyers commission, which is around 20% of the sale or 'hammer' price, which you will have to bear. They could also charge a sellers commission, which is collected from the seller.

You can get a catalogue or list of all the books available at the auction. Use this catalogue to find books that you are interested in. Check out the rates at which they are available elsewhere in the market, because the aim of taking out time and bidding at an auction is to get the book at lower rates than elsewhere.

You might also be able to check out the physical condition of the books before you buy them. You will also need to get registered with the auction house, sometimes for a nominal fee. If you are unable to attend the auction, then you can call them a day in advance and they could also arrange for you bid via telephone.

The best way to benefit from auctions is to first go with an expert or an experienced person and observe him or her. That way you can become familiar with the auction procedures and hence will end up making fewer mistakes. Unless, you have lots of money lying around, do not get emotional while bidding.

Set a maximum price you are willing to bid for before entering the auction hall. Stick to that figure. Once you start buying regularly at auctions, then store those books properly in a dry place, so that they remain in good condition for you to re-read them and also if you decide to re-sell them.

With new technologies entering into the auction arena, you can now attend online auctions, where the books are displayed on the Internet sites with the final auction date mentioned. You can post your bid against that book and after the final date, you can find out if your price was the highest bid.

The problem in online auctions is that you cannot physically check the books and some lesser-known sites could also be indulging in counterfeit books. Moreover, the traditional auction has a different atmosphere, which the Internet cannot emulate, since many people attend book auctions not only to buy books but also to be part of a bigger like-minded group whose common love is books.

So, research carefully, and attend a few book auctions to get the correct feel and you could soon grab good deals in book auctions.

[ ] Have they been in business for more than a year? Bonus points for those that have been in business for 5 or more years. Directories that are less than 6 months old are often still in the sandbox yet, meaning they don't have any traffic traction.

[ ] Can you figure out within 10 seconds of surfing their site who actually owns or is in charge of the site? Article directory owners that hide themselves from the public should be a sign that they don't want to be found.

[ ] Do they respond within 24-48 hours of your email requests? Did your email to them bounce back undeliverable?

[ ] Does the [url=http://www.articlegear.com]article submission[/url] / [url=http://www.articlewheel.com]article submission directory[/url]

have more than 1,000-5,000 authors listed? Sites with less than 1,000 authors are still cutting their teeth on being a directory owner.

[ ] Does it appear that the article directory was built with article bot scraped content? You can easily tell by looking for the unconverted MS word smartquotes within articles that are listed on the site. There is no honor in having your articles side by side of scraped content.

[ ] Is the article directory human powered vs. fully automated? Any article directory that is fully automated is usually a sign that the owner doesn't intend to police the quality of the content.

[ ] Do they provide RSS feeds, email alerts, forward to a friend function and other strategies to increase the distribution of your articles? Do they have thousands of members of their own double opt-in mailing lists to promote your articles?

[ ] Are they responsible with the advertising clients they have on their site? ie: No popups, no exit pops, no ?punch the monkey' ads?

[ ] Do they provide article reports to help you see which articles are getting traction or not?

[ ] Service based mentality: Do they have it or not?

[ ] Bottom line: After you've submitted to the [url=http://www.articlegear.com]article submission[/url]

, does it generate traffic back to your site or not? Do you find your article distributed to other niche websites or do your articles get picked up by email newsletter publishers?

The reason you make your articles available for syndication is because you want to improve your targeted web traffic, enhance your credibility, drive leads to your products, grow your email list and more!

Unfortunately, you don't have unlimited time in your day to submit your articles to every newbie article directory that begs for your attention. Prioritize the best article sites that meet or exceed the above criteria to help determine which ones should get your valuable attention. It is better to submit 100 articles to a top quality article directory or niche site than it is to submit (1) article to 100 directories.
