Blueprint for a successful auction: interesting products and passionate buyers that don't care about the final price.
Best thing about niches? Loyal customers.
Tested niche: craft beer and beer-related products. Our platform turned out to be the perfect match. Easy site management, custom visual work and auctions features - a business that thrives through auction battles.
Bid Next Door is using our software to get everything done. They've assembled an in-house group of auctioneers, estate appraisers, and sales professionals to take care of every aspect of a sale. The online site offers several types of auctions - from remote bidding to staggered auctions (auctions that end one after another at a preset time) - ensuring that all lots will sell as quickly as possible.

For us, it was easy to design a simple, straight-to-the-point site that quickly helps customers find products. We think that we had a small part in their rapid growth.
It's hard to find a site that does serious business and it's entertaining.
Most sites want to optimize business excel at one, and don't bother with creating the atmosphere.
Gold Rush Marketplace example of how to struck gold (pun intended). They're selling for a small niche. How big is the secondhand market for heavy machines? But if you look closer you can also buy special dirtpacks with gold inside. And they're for everyone.
