Online Computer Auctions

To find the best deals on computers, online computer auctions offer chances for some of the greatest discounts available, on new and used equipment.

Computer auctions are held by the manufacturers of computers, resellers, and individuals wanting to sell their used computers.

As for manufacturers, the auctions are a great way to reduce inventories of less popular items, refurbished used computers, and other computer related equipment.

Of the manufacturers, at least IBM and Dell keep regular auctions of their computers. For IBM, the service is organized in co-operation with eBay, the leader in online auctions.

DellAuctions.com is the official Dell auction site for you to buy refurbished Dell computers, peripherals and software.

Online Computer Auctions - Resellers and Individuals

Many resellers sell their computers solely through auction sites, such as eBay. The reserve price system ensures for them that they can walk away from the auctions with a profit.

Individuals use these auctions as well to sell their used computers. Used computers are also sold by stores that specialize in refurbished computers (used computers that are inspected and rebuilt to original manufacturer's specifications).

Some of the bigger resellers have build their own auction web sites for computers and related equipment and software.

For example, there are:

compusaauctions.com (from the CompUSA retail chain)

auctions.cnet.com (from CNET)
