"Online Auctions" are changing the way people around the world buy and sell goods. It all started with Ebay where individuals could easily and at low cost put up their collectibles for auction. Over time, things changed for Ebay. Fees increased, listings included pieces and parts of things, things that didn't work, counterfeit goods; but there have been important positive developments. Ebay Stores came into existence. Small businesses said, "my costs are cheaper than any bricks and mortar place, my customers are anywhere in the world and if you don't like my price, which is cheaper than anywhere in the world; you can bid on it."

Before Ebay there were traditional auctions. The traditional auction model goes back thousands of years and has been widely used for liquidating merchandise and for sales of unique collectible goods. Probably the most famous auction houses are Sotheby's and Christie's. Famous, in part; for there expensive antique jewelry.

Ubidorbuy.com is a confluence of Sotheby's and Christie's together with Ebay. Below are the advantages for our bidders and buyers:

• Like ourselves Sotheby's and Christie's have the advantage of "trust" over Ebay because all items must be seen, touched, screened and guaranteed by accredited appraisers, versus Ebay which relies solely on feedback and limited guarantees.

• Like ourselves, Ebay has a continuous flow of goods and are open 24 hours a day 365 days a year; Sotheby's and Christie's are not.

• Like Ebay's online stores we carry antique jewelry as well as new jewelry, unlike Ebay we do not list junk like used watch dials, cleaning solutions, broken jewelry, etc.
  

• As with Sotheby's and Christie's you will see rare and expensive diamonds and jewelry but with us you will also see special but relatively inexpensive one-of-a-kind pieces.

• Like an Ebay store many of our customers like the quick and easy "buy out" choice. In one of our customers' words, " I don't have time to go shopping. With Ubidorbuy all I have to do is pick a category, scroll down, choose an item, buy it at a super price that I cannot find anywhere in town, have it packed up in a gift bag with a gift card - I am certainly not going to town to start looking for a gift card! - and it have shipped right to my feet in a couple of days. Oh, and no sales tax."

• We have a big advantage over the traditional and the online auction. No buyer premium. We also don't do tricks like some penny auctions where you have to pay a a little every time you simply bid on something.
