Shod for success Parcel2Go hails enterprising eBay couple whose footwear business is making great strides

Bolton, Lancashire (PRWEB UK) 27 August 2011

Free delivery has been a key to the success of a new business which has turned from a home-based hobby into a full-time online enterprise for a Norfolk couple.

Martin and Monica Lott set up FYFO.co.uk, and now sell footwear through their own website and on eBay from more than 60 top brands and offering no-cost delivery on all standard orders has helped them hit the ground running since the site was launched at the start of this month.

But according to marketing director of online delivery services agent Parcel2Go.com, Richard Mercer, they are just one of many examples of how getting the right delivery services company on board from the start can give any aspiring business a leg up.

"Millions of British people love selling their unwanted items on eBay, but turning that love into a viable business can be a completely different matter," he said.

"Keeping a close eye on costs is key in this respect, and that's where Parcel2Go has helped so many people's hard work to set up their own thriving company pay off.

"For eBay traders, the cost of sending out their goods can eat up a large chunk of their profits. We aim to make those overheads easier to swallow, by offering them a range of delivery service options suited to both their budgets, and the products they are selling," Mr Mercer added.

Many people are unaware of the sheer scale of the choice of parcel delivery options they have available when going into supplying goods by post, he pointed out.

"Parcel2Go.com has negotiated special deals with a range of leading carriers, so we can help ambitious business owners find a first-class delivery service that doesn't cost them the earth," he said.

Emile Gruppe Oil Paintings Sell For $9,000 On eBay

Midland Park, New Jersey (PRWEB) August 31, 2011

Two original 1940's oil paintings by the New England landscape artist Emile Gruppe (1896-1978) were sold on eBay by West Highland Art Auction Brokers on August 26, 2011 for remarkably strong prices. A 25" x 30" (untitled) Winter Scene was sold for $ 5,500, and a 16" x 20" landscape titled "Sycamores In Fall" was sold for $ 3,500. In a live public auction, like Sothebys or Christies, a 20% buyer's fee would have been added to the prices realized.

"These are very competitive prices in today's art market," stated Les Fox, co-owner of West Highland. "Honestly, I don't think we could have done better anywhere else. Even at Sotheby's or Christies. The original owner, a woman in her 80's, was very happy with the results. And so are we."

West Highland Art Auction Brokers is a unique art auction service. Fox buys art for top dollar, then "shares the auction profit" with the original owner, which no other art dealer in the world will do. The brokers only deal in original paintings by listed artists with public auction records. They offer free research and art appraisals.

"We recently decided to give our clients the option of selling in a live public auction or selling on eBay," noted Sue Fox. "We've sold art on eBay for many years, but we weren't sure how well these exciting paintings would do. We started the bidding at $ 100 apiece, with no reserve. Amazingly, over 550 serious collectors looked at each auction, and we got 36 bids! People know our name. They trust us to offer genuine and high quality art on eBay. We stand out from the mix of amateurs and dealers who list over 100,000 paintings a day on the popular auction site."

Complete details of the West Highland Art Auction Partnership program are available on the Foxes' website at: http://www.AmericanArtAdvisor.com. A free brochure is available and can be requested via email, or by phone. (201-891-7170)

New York Times bestselling authors Les and Sue Fox are now researching a new book titled "The Art Buyers Handbook" which will be published in 2012. The book will tell people how to find valuable art at garage sales and flea markets.

"Based on these eBay results," Fox said, "We are interested in buying or brokering paintings by all popular 19th and 20th century artists, including Emile Gruppe, Aldro Hibbard, Fern Coppedge, Anthony Thieme and Rolph Scarlett to sell on eBay. Plus, we still offer our clients the option to sell at Sotheby's, Christies or any of the other high end auction houses. Whatever is best for the client is best for us."

West Highland Art Auction Brokers does not appraise or broker prints, lithographs, limited editions or other reproductions.

New Archery Auction Site Like Ebay, Only Better... It's Just For Bowhunters

Peru, Massachussettes (PRWEB) September 01, 2011

In the past, when bowhunters have upgraded equipment and wished to sell their previous gear, theyve typically had to list their gear on large auction sites jammed with thousands of other products. Or wade through layers of classified posts on popular Archery sites. A less than ideal situation in either case.

Thats why Geoff Patti, owner of Outdoor Vision, Inc., recently launched archeryauction.com, a new auction site, where bowhunters and archery enthusiasts can buy and sell all types of archery supplies specific to their interests.

To make this site useful to bowhunters, were not charging listing fees, and the selling fees are less than half the cost of other auction sites, says Patti. But users still have the same convenience of selling with an auction-style listing, or fixed price format. Additionally well be offering upgrades, such as YouTube videos and Featured listings to draw more attention to a product.

As part of the archeryauction.com launch, the first 500 listings will be entered into a drawing for a bow of the winners choice up to $ 1000. Patti will also host monthly gear giveaways, and donate part of the sites proceeds to the Wounded Warrior project.

For more information on archeryauction.com, phone Geoff Patti at 413-446-2629 or email Geoff(at)ArcheryAuction(dot)com.
