Story

Contrary to popular conception, eBay isn’t only place on the web to find thousands of items coming up for auction … and these days, because there are so many people using it, eBay is no longer such a great place to find the best deals.

Well there’s good news for once!

Did you know that there are literally hundreds of well organised, reputable auction houses selling absolutely anything you can imagine, all over Britain right now? … And you’ve probably never heard of most of them!

We’re talking: Cars, Property, Bankrupt Stock, Proceeds of Crime, Seized Items, Overstock, Liquidated Assets … Anything from Antiques to Battleships … Diggers to iPods … Mobile phones to Turkeys at Christmas … anything you can imagine is being sold right now as you’re reading this.

Britain still appears to be in the grip of a deep and awful recession but the upside is that: a) there’s more and more items going to auction houses b) you can cash in!

Thousands upon thousands of auction lots flow through the country’s auction houses on a daily basis and come from many different sources … and gauk Auctions list the lot!

THE RECESSION BEATER… Buy it 10%, 50% or even a Massive 80% Cheaper!

These Deals & Products Are Not Found Anywhere Else… Not on eBay, Amazon or Google!

There are a couple of very good ‘specialist’ websites available but they are ‘specialist’ and only cater for a particular niche such as antiques. Then at the other end of the spectrum there are many resources ‘claiming’ to publish auction directories and the like, but in reality this is old, outdated, rehashed misinformation that’s been doing the rounds on the internet and eBay for years.

gauk has been providing quality information since the year 2000 and are constantly updating.

We’ve been copied, plundered and blatantly had our websites hacked and reproduced in a vain attempt to copy what we do.

BUT … the cold, hard truth is that it takes the participation of auctioneers, a large team of data-input staff, some very sophisticated, proprietary software, a bunch of very expensive, dedicated servers, a number of technical guys and a rather large budget to keep gauk running!

And we even strive to keep gauk searches advert free! Yes … a quite, tranquil retreat with none of those annoying, flashing images spoiling the enjoyment of bargain hunting.

You simply cannot find the gauk information anywhere else in one place and by using gauk services you enjoy the convenience of having all of it at your fingertips.

Take auctioneers – The full, unlimited service at gauk Auctions details almost 2,000 auctioneers. That’s approximately 10,000 auctions a month, and HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND OF ITEMS COMING UP AT AUCTION RIGHT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, and a huge selection are uploaded to into a single, easy to search, save and compare database.

So why don’t I find this stuff by doing a Google?

Well the fact is that you could probably find a small number auction house websites after a few minutes of searching IF, (and it’s a big if), you know exactly what you’re looking for, you know what the auction house is called, where it’s located and what they specialise in.

That said, you then need to search through each website and find the information you’re looking for, if they publish it online (which many don’t). You would need to spend time to find the auction events, the catalogues, the times and dates and then cross-reference them and save them somehow … Now imagine trying to do that for nearly 2,000 auctioneers … you couldn’t because it’s just a plain old fact that over 95% of these auction houses won’t come up on the first ten to twenty pages of Google.

That’s some 1900 auctions that just won’t be found on a simple Google search, eBay or Amazon … Why?

Auctioneers are not geared up for optimizing their websites for search engines so a Google search on ‘auctions’ for instance, brings up all sorts of results, much of it irrelevant rubbish! (Try it!)

Google isn’t like gauk because we are a ‘Specialist Auction Engine’ and our information is handled manually by ‘humans’.

Auctioneers do not list on eBay because the fees are prohibitive

Many auctioneers do not advertise in traditional press because the costs are prohibitive

And they certainly don’t list on Amazon because there is not that facility

You Find Stuff on gauk That You Simply Can’t Find Elsewhere.

We have thousands of enquiries a week from people just like YOU who are interested in what’s being sold across the country at auctions right now … We’ll help you ensure you know exactly what’s coming up at those sales, where they are and when.

gauk websites are run specifically for dedicated bargain hunters, they are the first place people come to when looking for a steal. Whether it’s cars or vans, property or investment land, computers or software, linen or silk – it’s all being sold right now somewhere in your country.

We have developed a revolutionary system that will enable you to receive the most up-to-date, relevant information about the very latest up-coming sales.

It’s reassuring to know that we have been running gauk Network websites, worldwide since 1999. Although the website name suggests that we deal mainly with government auctions, which we do comprehensively, gauk has grown into a much bigger beast and now we cover the whole spectrum of sales.

Government Auctions UK, was originally published as ‘an experiment’, a place from where you could enter the ‘secretive’ world of Government and Police Auctions. There were no sophisticated features like now yet it contained everything someone needed to track down No Reserve auctions.

The Government Auctions website took on a life of its own, growing organically through search engine exposure and by word of mouth. It was this demand that drove the site development towards something much more comprehensive and what you see today.

Government Auctions UK was recently rebranded as plain old ‘gauk Auctions’ which fits far more comfortably within the network, and is now growing and expanding as fast as programming allows.

What about the sales you don’t hear about?

At present you probably hear about sales by word of mouth, by reading an advert, or by requesting a catalogue from an auction you know is about to be held.

MY GAUK: Once you track down those elusive auction lots save them to My gauk … Here you can keep track of hundreds of items from across a range of auction houses across the length of Britain.

An exciting innovation introduced by gauk Auctions is that auction houses across the entire country have secure access to their details from any computer allowing them to edit listings and publish their news, ensuring you get up-to-the-minute information.

This unique system ensures our users have the most up-to-date, reliable information available.

With gauk Auctions, you’ll never miss an event again. The powerful, searchable database can be queried for, either something specific, or an auction in a defined area. If a client is looking for, let’s say property, or computers they filter this into our search facility and those auctions dealing with those items will appear. If a customer wants to find all sales in a specific area they simply choose the county of interest and Hey Presto! they are listed.

Don’t Miss an Auction Bargain … Bid Online From Home
Many auction houses post a complete catalogue of lots with a description of what’s being sold, and if they have a web presence already then we provide a link from their listing at gauk Auctions to their site. If they use a Bid Online service we will link to that service also.

Gauk Auctions have also invested heavily in their own commission bid system so if an auctioneer has activated their Bid Online service you can bid through gauk!

gauk Auctions site is extremely easy to navigate and simple to use. Clients keep coming back to us because we offer sound, up-to-date information … gauk Auctions websites are fast becoming the definitive bible for all those looking for a great deal, the first point of contact, the ‘Bible’ of the auction world.

Instead of having to ‘discover’ the latest sale information by waiting for the advert, or by calling in, or faxing, or by requesting a catalogue (some of which can cost as much as … 20), or by searching the net … people simply save the headache, a huge amount of time and expense … and use gauk!

*Don’t sift through endless adverts, news and trade press for announcements that are often not there
*Don’t try picking the brains of friends and traders with ‘insider information’
*Don’t waste time and money calling auctioneers day after day to ask what’s coming up and when they’re holding sales
*Don’t waste hours on the internet looking for information that’s buried so deep in search results
*Don’t, not ever, pay retail prices again!

We strive to deliver the very best auction alert service out there and our goal is 100% coverage of every item coming up for sale across every county in the UK and Ireland with Europe and even the good old USA coming on board. This is a massive ask and although we don’t always get it completely right, we do a darn good job
