This is the first thing you should do. Put your auction web address (MyBidList url) as your email signature. Send your auction web address (http://www.mybidlist.com/your_auction_number) to as many people as you can and ask them to forward to as many people as they can. This is the most effective way of getting the news out for free.

2. Online web sites -

Post your auction web address to all web sites that you can find, free or paid. Remember to include your auction web address – http://www.mybidlist.com/your_auction_number You can find this address on top of all your auction list page or check the email when you first sign up MyBidList.

This is very popular in the U.S. and it is free. First, select the city on the right side of the page. Post a free message under ‘for sale’ category.
