The new online auction site, boocoo.com is live. It’s in a soft launch mode, which means that only certain people are privy to it’s use right now, but if you are one that likes to try new things, here’s a user name and password that will enable you to use the site for free before it’s full public launch on June 21st.
User name: auctionwally

When you go to boocoo.com, you’ll find a simple splash page, enter the user name and password mentioned above, and you’ll be able to register as you would any other site.
========================
I’m working as the auction consultant for boocoo.com and they have asked me to do active polling for them on user concerns and ideas.
This is a chance to have your input heard on a website that wants to put the users first. Boocoo welcomes your feedback, anything you send to me in the way of suggestions or criticisms will be forwarded to the appropriate ears at the company. (See my special boocoo contest this week!)

Please tell your friends about this launch!
========================
Site of the week: Fineestateliquidation.com
My good friend Martin Codina of Fine Estate Liquidation inc is having a contest in connection with his interest in Ruby Lane, the online antiques mall. Martin is asking people to vote for their favorite Ruby Lane shop. You can vote as often as you’d like and he’s offering a wonderful prize, traffic back to your website in exchange for your participation.
But of course as a veteran estate liquidator and webmaster, there is a plethora of things you can benefit from at Martin’s site such as help with difficult estate sale decisions, a directory of estate liquidations services and much more.
======================
I hope you’ll take a look at my live video auctions this evening, they take place at 9pm ET.

The weekly contest:
How many Price Reports do I currently have in my Prices-Realized directory? No one got the correct answer, which is 76. Wow, even I didn’t think I had that many listed! This directory grows every week and is a great way to learn about antiques and collectibles and their values.
Tell us what you think!
