I have never been to a real live auction but, Tophatter was as close as you could get. So far I love it and I like that you can choose your own character and every place where an auction is held is a different scene. In the auction rooms you can chat with other buyers as well. Plus  for a limited time, each friend that you invite to Tophatter will get $5 to spend within a day of joining the site. For each friend that buys something, you get $5 to spend within two weeks of your friend’s purchase. Invites are only set up through emails and Facebook friend invites through messaging as for now. These auctions go extremely fast as I assume the real ones do too.  This almost reminds me of eBay in a way but it runs a lot faster and you can actually see your bidders. I am soon to start my own auction and great thing is they connect to Paypal which is really great. Also they have areal time calendar as to when certain auctions are going live so you can pop in on any of these rooms whenever you want. It is free to sign up and join. So if you have something you want to auction off I would start at Tophatter.

    It’s fun just watching the auctions. I can’t imagine how much fun I’d have if I could actually bid on stuff!

    Thanks for the review. Love the action and fast moving pace. I also like how they end in 2-3 minutes. No waiting to see if you’ve won.

    Thanks for the review, I love Tophatter. Even though I’ve only learned about them withing the past 3 months. I like the auctions, they are live, quick, simple, and you know right away whether you win or not.

    What I like about Tophatter is the schedule that is provided, so you can see when the item you are interested in will be put up to sell, and then arrange your time accordingly, or know at least days in advance that you can’t make it. I also like that the lots can be individual seller hauls-specific or described as something general so that you can find what you’re looking for going by the description alone.

    I have never been to a live auction- my hubby keeps telling me he is going to take me to one. Maybe I will check out Tophatter until then 🙂

    What is nice is that the auctions really don’t last that long and they are right on to the next item.
