I have had this idea which may seem a bit mad but it appeals to me. This is not an online business but something you could build up in the outside world.

Now you only have to look at Ebay online auctions to know that auctions appeal to a great multitude of people, so why not start your own auction business.  No don’t shrug this off as a daft idea, many daft ideas turn out to be big business as this could.

I know that many towns and cities already have auction houses but usually they are more high class and don’t appeal to us ordinary people.  So find a reasonably large shop or warehouse to let, and set up your business.   Prepare to advertise your auctions for at least a month before it is due to open, you want everyone to know it is there, not only to buy but also to bring in the goods to be auctioned.

While you are advertising visit an auction room and check out everything and how it is done, also how the auctioneer works and the patter. Ok I said it was a mad idea but it is completely workable.

You will need some money to rent premises and also for advertising, but if you keep it in the family to start with you won’t need to pay wages untill you are up and running.
