    newspaper personal ads

    other sites that offer the same service, for instance in New Zealand it is www.trademe.co.nz

    people that sell products out the back of cars

    the manufacturer of the original products, because they want people to buy a new product from them not buy and older one from someone else.

    etc etc...

    sit down and think about it, there are lots of competors

    On-line auctions (direct)
    Ubid.com
    bid-alot.com
    uauction.com
    auctionfire.com
    Yahoo online auction
    Amazon auctions

    Here's a site that reviews 184 online auction sites:
    https://www.ftpplanet.com/cgi/_listreview/listreview.pl?list_path=Auction

    For indirect - any place that you can buy something (new or used) or sell something

    Other categories (indirect):
    Online stores
    Physical auctions (art, estate sales, etc)
    Retail outlets
    Newspaper personal classified ads
    Radio and television ads (sometimes have personal ads
    for people who want to sell stuff)
    Bulletin boards in stores and offices (post an index card)
    Cable TV channels specializing in community personal
    classified ads

    As Foxfire said: sit down and think!

    Good luck,

    Wayde
