"Cash in the Attic" Treasures to be Auctioned Online
Friday, February 02, 2007
Live, online bidding for items from the HGTV fave is set for Saturday
Saturday is the day collectors can connect to one of TV's most popular shows for pack rats and, well, collectors. For the first time ever, the auctions from HGTV's "Cash in the Attic" will be available to online bidders. The live auction will take place on February 3, 5:00 pm (CST) at Hammer Down Auctions in Leander, TX. The live online component of the auction is available via Proxibid - a leading provider of live auction broadcasting services.
For the uninitiated, "Cash in the Attic" sends professional appraisers scour the homes of the show's participants for hidden treasures. The items chosen by the appraisers are then auctioned off to raise money to pay for a home improvement project for the participants.
"By offering online bidding in conjunction with the live auction, we are able to add a new type of bidder to the traditional auction typically featured on the show," said Michele Hammer of Hammer Down Auctions. "Proxibid's leading technology will enable us to attract a wider audience than ever before to a 'Cash in the Attic' auction. We are thrilled to be working with Proxibid to bring live Internet bidding to HGTV's viewers."
To participate in the online auction, visit www.proxibid.com/hammerdownauction. Once there, bidders can view the auction catalog, place pre-bids and bid online during the live event. While the auction will take place on February 3, 2007, the actual "air date" is to be determined.
