I tried them about 3 years ago. Had stuff listed their for about 6 months before giving up on them. Never as much as a page look let alone a sale.

Not a bad site though as far as ease of use. Just too bad no one else it there.

I went over there to look.

I thought who could possibly have 1.2 MILLION books up....WALMART.COM

The ENTIRE SITE is branded.

Big names too.

Individuals can still sell items and who knows these big names may be bringing traffic for their closeouts and marketing their listings among their customers.

Maybe something to think about. If these big name companies are moving traffic to auction addict I wouldn't mind jumping into the mix.

Maybe these companies decided to NOT Ebay and pay those fees and instead of owning an auction site they jumped in at auctionaddict.

Cruising the site I see listings by

walmart.com
Ross Simmons Fine Jewelery
Office Max
Cooking.com
Dell Home
Hickory Farms
Overstock.com
art.com

And others....
Someone from each company had to put in the time to make all of these listings so I don't think it is a game.

Here's a 4 1/2 year old press release about them.

4 1/2 years old, and I never heard of them until I read this thread. This proves you can have the best site in the world, but with no advertising its worthless.

AuctionAddict.com strikes me as bizarre. If you look at the Walmart and other big name ads, it's simply a link to the actual page on the company website. Maybe the owner of AA is making money by people trafficking people to those sites??

Dunno.
