Can I bid more than 10% below asking price for a new home and be taken seriously?
Q. I've done some research and it seems like bidding 10% under is standard. Can I bid lower than that and still be taken seriously? Extra info: I have been watching the houses I'm interested in for 9 months so I know they've been on the market at least that long. Like the rest of America, my market is pretty slow. The homes I am looking at are in the $180-240K range. Thanks in advance for any help!

How do you make your ebay account automatically bid on an item for you?
Q. i was bidding on a laptop and whenever i bid another person has a automatic bidder that bids 5 cents more how do i make mine do the same?
Asked by Hotty 24/7 - Sun Feb 15 11:41:46 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. eBay already does this, as long as you sign up for automatic bidding. You first submit your maximum bid (the most you agree to pay for the item). eBay starts your bidding 5 cents above the previous bid (not at your maximum), and then everything is automatic up to your maximum bid.

Where online is the best way to find and bid on construction projects?
Q. Whats the best way to find future or upcoming projects that i will be able to bid on within my area? I own a construction business and Im a subcontractor. My trades are plastering and drywall. Please advise.

A. Usually General Contractors do not advertise for bids online. What I would do is go to the yellow pages and find every contractor in your area and call them. Just ask to talk to the person in charge of bidding the projects. I have been in the business for almost thirty years and all my subs came to see me or called.
