Luxury Auctions Are New Trend in High-End Real Estate.

Steven and Alma Funke of Castle Point Estates announced plans to hold a luxury real estate auction for two of Hawaii's newest, most elegant properties on Oahu's exclusive Kailua Beach. Four properties will be auctioned in all Tuesday morning, November 15th beachfront at Castle Point on Kailua Bay.

According to a recent issue of Castles Magazine, using auctions to sell high-end properties is gaining momentum. In a market where the turn around on high-end, multi-million dollar estates may be more than a year, the same properties sold at auction guarantee true market value and sell in a matter of hours.

Steven Funke of Castle Point Estates agrees. "We believe selling the Castle Point homes at auction is the right way to go." Steven added, "These homes are works of art situated on one of the best beaches in the world. Such rare jewels do not become available often."

The evening before the auction, Monday November 14th, the Funke's are hosting the Castle Point Benefit Gala featuring a private concert with Grammy-winning artist Roberta Flack. Alma Funke describes The Castle Point Benefit Gala as part of their plan to help those in greatest need. "The gala is an opportunity to bring people together who have the means to help others. In this unprecedented time of catastrophic disasters, it is important we all do what we can."

The Castle Point Benefit Gala will aid charities that are reaching out to poor, displaced victims of Hurricane Katrina, and the recent deadly earthquake in Pakistan, as well as underprivileged, at-risk youth populations of Hawaii.

Sports Legend Teams Up With PETA, Sets Opening Bid at $20,000.

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova\who has won nine Wimbledon Womenfs Singles championships and, with a record 167 titles in singles and 174 in doubles, holds more overall tennis titles than any other player in history\wants to ace one for animals who are abused, neglected, or in dire need of rescue. Martina is teaming up with her longtime pals at PETA and offering a one-hour tennis lesson and a vegan lunch to the highest bidder on PETAfs online auction, with proceeds to be earmarked for PETAfs Investigations & Rescue Fund (IRF).

Bidding has started at $20,000, and the winner will be able schedule the lesson and lunch at a mutually agreed upon time and place within six months of the closing date of the auction. The winner will be responsible for his or her transportation costs to and from the lesson and lunch.

The IRF enables PETAfs staff to provide lifesaving resources 365 days a year, around the clock, whether itfs dispatching an investigator to a factory farm following a call from a whistleblower, helping a chained dog who is left all alone, or sending a team of animal rescue workers to areas hit by disasters, as was the case in Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. PETA receives more than 10,000 calls a year from people who ask for help to get animals out of harmfs way. The IRF also underwrites PETAfs groundbreaking investigations of cruelty to animals wherever it exists, including in laboratories, factory farms, slaughterhouses, puppy mills, pet stores, and circuses. It is also the primary source of funding for PETAfs mobile spay and neuter clinic, where more than 7,000 surgeries were performed in the last year alone.

This isnft the first time that Martina has teamed up with PETA to help animals. She has hosted a donated fur-coat giveaway for the needy in Colorado, starred in a pro-vegetarian ad that launched PETAfs "Live and Let Live" Campaign, and called on Australiafs prime minister to ban lamb mutilations and live-sheep exports by the Australian wool industry. For her outstanding efforts to help stop animal suffering, Martina received a special award at PETAfs 25th Anniversary Gala last month.

"Animals donft deserve to be abused, neglected, or abandoned," says Martina. "Ifm happy to be able to pitch in and give this tennis lesson in the hope that people will learn the bigger lesson that animals deserve to be treated with respect and kindness."

State Stops Selling Fake Goods At Surplus Auctions.

State officials have halted a policy of selling counterfeit goods at surplus property auctions after federal customs agents said the practice was illegal.

The state routinely auctions off items seized by law enforcement agents as part of criminal investigations and by Department of Revenue officials to pay off back taxes. The auctions generated $23 million for the state in the fiscal year ended June 30.

But those auctions have sometimes included goods like fake Rolex watches or designer handbags, which were advertised as imitation.

Questions about the practice by NBC-17 prompted U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement agents to call the practice of knowingly selling counterfeit goods illegal because the state never obtained permission from Rolex or other trademark holders.

The questions also led to a new policy by the state banning the sale of counterfeit goods.

"I put it out to my employees verbally (Tuesday) and in writing (Wednesday) morning that we would no longer be bidding counterfeit or imitation items, that we know," surplus property officer Randy Lee said.

Officials pulled several counterfeit items off the surplus auction Web site on Wednesday.

State Department of Revenue officials declined to talk with NBC-17 about the imitation goods and whether the state had broken any laws or had sought trademark permission to sell them.

Department spokeswoman Kim Brooks released a statement, saying only that officials requested the auctions stop including counterfeit items immediately.

"The department has always been forthright in its dealings with taxpayers who purchase items through these sales and notifies bidders of the item's condition, including any damage," the statement said. "The department has requested that the state surplus immediately cease selling jewelry seized by the department that has been determined to be counterfeit."

UKfs eBid auction site launches U.S. version

With a different deal for sellers and new payment options for buyers, London-based eBid Ltd.fs eBid.net launched its U.S. version this week and expects to quickly build a major presence in here in the online auction market, CEO Gary Sewell says. gWithin six months, we hope to surpass Overstock Auctions,h he tells InternetRetailer.com.

EBid started in the UK in 1999, when Sewell and his partners decided to replicate what eBay had started in the U.S. But when Yahoo closed its UK auction business in 2002, eBid changed its operating model to eliminate listing fees | copying what had been Yahoofs model. Yahoo sellers were used to not paying fees, so we dropped our listing fees and ex-Yahoo users came to our site,h Sewell says.

EBidfs fee structure has helped it grow to more than 200,000 auctions daily in the UK, and it expects to reach 500,000 auctions within the first year in the U.S., Sewell says. EBid gets about 25,000 unique visitors per day in the UK, where it processes about 250,000 page impressions per day, he adds. Although eBid began piloting its U.S. site several weeks ago, it has yet to release any traffic figures.

While eBid charges no listing fees, it charges a 2% final value fee based on an auctionfs final selling price. It also offers sellers the option of paying an annual membership fee of $79.99 in lieu of paying final value fees. By comparison, eBay charges listing fees ranging from 25 cents to $4.80, plus other fees including a final value fee starting at about 5%. In its recent third-quarter report, eBay said it had 68 million active users, including buyers and sellers, over the previous 12 months.

EBidfs payment system, PPPay.com provides a service similar to eBayfs PayPal, which accepts payments from auction buyers through credit cards or other vehicles and then pays the seller. Under this arrangement, buyers receive their goods after the seller has received payment.

But PPPay.com also offers an escrow service, which doesnft release a buyerfs funds to the seller until after the buyer receives what she ordered. The buyer has 24 hours to approve the received goods and instruct PPPay.com to issue the payment. If a buyer doesnft contact PPPay.com within 24 hours, PPPay.com proceeds with the payment.

Sewell is promoting eBid in the U.S. through a search engine marketing campaign that includes 20,000 keywords in Google and 5,000 in Yahoo, but eBid also expects to grow through word-of-mouth and a registration incentive program, he says. Under the incentive program, users who get friends to register on eBid receive credits that can be used to bid on auctions.
