Auction NewsLakers, Sparks Will Donate Money To Hurricane Victims. The NBA's Los Angeles Lakers and WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks announced plans Friday to donate $100,000 to the American Red Cross for victims of Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf States. Additional money will come from an in-arena auction held at the Sparks' playoff game against Sacramento earlier this week and from in-arena auctions held at each Lakers home game during the month of November, the teams said Friday. It was also announced that the Lakers Youth Foundation will make a $100,000 donation to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America to help rebuild, resupply and bring vital youth services to children living on the Gulf Coast. -------------------------------------------------------- Property Auctions Are Not For The Uninitiated. By Ken Berzof The bank started the bidding at $67,000. By the time the price jumped to around $85,000, several investors had dropped out. Then a t $91,000 , the auctioneer said, "going once, going twice ..." Then Beau Henderson of Middletown swooped in, bid $92,000 and silenced the competition. "The other couple shook their heads, and that was it," Henderson recalled. He had just bought a two-bedroom condominium in Jeffersontown at a Jefferson Circuit Court commissioner's sale. Real-estate foreclosures have soared in Jefferson County, to more than 2,600 last year. About 70 percent of those properties \ mostly single-family homes \ end up on the auction block, where savvy investors can land good deals. But those with experience warn that success requires research, legwork and discipline. Courthouse auctions "can be an excellent way to buy real estate if you know the rules going in, make informed decisions about what properties to buy and don't get over-excited on the day of the sale and pay too much for the property," said Henry Schildknecht, a n attorney with Schildknecht & Oldham who has practiced real-estate law for 30 years. "I know of a number of real-estate investors who have bought large numbers of properties at foreclosure sales and have done well," he said. The successful buyers "know the value of the property, know what houses in that area are going for, and attempt to buy at 75 percent to 80 percent of fair market value." The problem, though, is that "a lot of purchases are more of a crapshoot than your average home purchase," said Schildknecht, a former president of the Kentucky Real Estate Investors Association, a Louisville networking group. It can be risky because auctioned properties are sold "as is," said Cheryl Watkins, a Realtor with Semonin Realtors. "You don't know for sure what you're getting , and what it might cost to fix it up ," she said . " I'm not saying it's not something you can do, but I don't want to mislead anyone that you can get a $200,000 house for $35,000." Without diligence, "It's a blind leap," said Brenda DePaso of Middletown, who has been buying properties the past five years. "Unless you really know what you're doing and are willing to put in the effort to finding out about it, you can get burned . " P roperty generally is auctioned because the homeowner can't pay the mortgage and the lender resorts to legal action that triggers the foreclosure. "People in all economic classes and income levels get behind in their mortgage payments and get foreclosed upon," including investors "who have gone to one too many seminars about leveraging , and they get in over their heads," Schildknecht said. "Maybe they bought the property to fix up and rent out, but they couldn't rent it out and they couldn't make the mortgage payments because they didn't have rental income ... and didn't have enough cash flow from other properties." In Jefferson County, auctions this year have been averaging about 100 properties a sale and generally draw more than 100 people. The properties, which usually sell in less than five minutes each , are throughout the county and usually are not in tip-top shape. "A lot of times, when people are going to lose their homes, the incentives for them to maintain their property goes down," Schildknecht said. "A certain percentage of properties are abandoned because people just walk away from them" ow ing too much. That can make inspecting property before a sale difficult. "The owner simply doesn't want to allow other people \ buzzards as they would probably refer to them \ swarming around as they're about ready to lose their home, to come in and look at their house," Schildknecht said. In some cases, abandoned property is boarded up so people can't see in . Considering the potential financial peril, Watkins doesn't recommend auctions for first-time homebuyers. Being a first-timer didn't deter Henderson, 29, a landscape architect who had been living with relatives and wanted to buy a place for himself and his wife, Melissa. "I started thinking, ` What's the cheapest way I can do this?' " he said. "You always see these get-rich-quick things on TV and in the news. I was thinking there's got to be something to it, so I thought I'd at least look into it." He started checking out auctions last year. When he reeled in the condo last month, "I was excited, but we weren't really surprised. We were expecting to get one at a good deal." The condo was appraised at $105,000 and homes in the area were selling for $107,000 to $113,000, he said. His new home "is in great shape. All it needs is paint and carpet. It would probably take about $1,500 to fix it up." DePaso and her husband, Damon, have purchased 12 properties and still own five. "It's just for investment purposes," she said. "We're not flippers" who buy and then quickly sell , she said. "We buy, we hold, we rent." Her objective: "I want to buy at least 20 percent equity. If the house is appraised at $150,000, I don't want to pay a whole lot more than $120,000, maybe $130,000 for it." Her routine includes find ing out through the commissioner's office what properties are coming up for sale; narrow ing the list to the several ZIP codes where she wants to own; research ing the property's value; and driv ing by the house to check out the exterior if she can't get inside. If she's interested, the next step is deciding on a price "and off to the auction we go." Schildknecht and Watkins recommend that investors attend a few auctions to learn the ropes, find out if any property taxes or sewer assessments are owed, and monitor what area properties have sold for. As for bidding, Schildknecht said: "Know in advance the top dollar amount you're going to pay" and never "feel your personal honor and worth is at stake (so) that you have to keep bidding." DePaso knows not to bid against the professionals who buy property for a living. "There are key players who buy stuff every time," she said. "I am not one of those people. I'm not getting rich, but I'm not losing money. These houses are my retirement. It's fun to me. I enjoy it. It's my hobby." ------------------------------------------------------- Local and National Experts Tell Us What's Hot and What's Not On EBay. Your old vinyl record albums aren't worth a thing. Neither are your royal commemorative teapots, your Kodak Brownie camera nor any of your homemade arts and crafts. At least not on eBay, where buyers spent $34 billion last year \ nearly the gross national product of Morocco. So, if you've got some things you thought were too good for your garage sale or are debating whether to donate or sell, it pays to know what's hot. That's especially true because going the eBay route can be time- and labor-intensive if you do it yourself. There are some things that have lasting value, says Jane Merlo of Clutter to Cash, a Rochester Internet auction consignment business that will post your unwanteds on eBay for a price. Those include Barbies, Hummels, china sets and high-end label anything. But most things are subject to the ebb and flow of cool. "Things can become hot, like in popular culture, almost immediately," Merlo says. "Like if Oprah says, 'I like this,' then everyone's going to eBay to find it." Timing and economics also play a part in this equation. Think about what people want when, says Linda Viola, owner of Auction Depot USA, an Internet auction consignment business in Webster. Holiday items won't do well in January, for example. Factor shipping into your plans, too, because the buyer foots that bill. "Nine times out of 10 somebody will not bid on something if the shipping is too much," Viola says. With all that in mind, here's some of what's hot now on eBay, based on information from the online auction powerhouse itself, HGTV, Clutter to Cash and Auction Depot USA. Musical instruments Autographs Sports/fitness Cameras/photos Electronics Clothes/accessories Maternity clothes also do well, as do authentic designer handbags and accessories, vintage (1965 to 1976) shoes, and pre-1901 or World War II-era clothes. Kids' clothing is also popular. Toys Jewelry/watches Collectibles Old advertising \ beer mirrors and tins and signs touting Cracker Jacks or chewing gum, for example \ also does well. Vintage Boy Scouts of America paraphernalia is hot right now, as are Cypraea and conch shells; publications and apparatus for magic, rocks, fossils and minerals; and precious metal specimens. Christmas decorations are popular, too, especially pre-1946 ornaments, Dept. 56 (North Pole), Hallmark series ornaments and contemporary Nativity items. At the other end of the spectrum, German World War I items and Vietnam War personal/field gear and edged weapons will also get you some money. There's also a slew of miscellaneous things you can sell: Zippo, Dupont and Scripto lighters; pulleys, blocks and tackle; straight razors; bread boxes; Western Americana belt buckles, railroadiana (watches); ceramic or mixed lots of buttons; sharks' teeth; trafflic lights/signals; tarot decks; Black Americana signs and gold compacts. Home and garden Buyers are also seeking appliances such as handheld vacuums; garage-door openers; grills and rotisseries; vacuum sealers; popcorn poppers; peelers, slicers and graters; pasta makers; wine chillers/cellars and bread machines. Believe it or not, weed killers and houseplants also sell. LHUTCH@DemocratandChronicle.com --------------------------------------------------------------- Around the Auctions... Irish Art Preview.
