Auctions: A DIY’ers Ultimate Resource
DIY-Do It Yourself, an acronym which has been in common
usage since the 1950’s and commonly referred to home renovations, and small art
or construction projects. DIY today has
a broader interpretation and can include almost anything that is created out of
sheer ingenuity. Here’s a prime example;
as flat screen televisions have replaced the older bulky televisions many
households are eliminatin entertainments centers which housed those
televisions. The question is, what do you do with that entertainment
center? It seems like a shame to just
throw it out and no one else wants it.
Well, some ingenious person repurposed an entertainment center and
turned it into a child’s play kitchen, which is pure brilliance! DIY has become more than just fixing
something or basic remodeling, it has come to include repurposing, recycling, and
reusing and because of this a new era of DIY’ers has evolved.
Here is where auctions come into play. There are many types of auctions selling
everything from livestock and farm equipment to designer handbags and real
estate. There is truly something for
everybody at an auction. If you are the
Do-It-Yourself’er that is remodeling a home, there’s an auction that is selling
new construction materials with lumber, bathroom vanities, kitchen cabinets,
and most everything else you need. If
you are the DIY’er that is making hand-painted eggs and you want those eggs to
come from your own chickens, there’s an auction selling chickens. If you make quilts only using vintage
fabrics, an auction will have it. If you
turn silverware into jewelry or wind chimes, an auction is your best bet. You name it and you can find it at an
auction. Auctionzip.com and your local auction
companies are your best resources for finding auctions. Auctionzip.com allows you to find auctions
based on your zip code and the radius you select and you will be provided with
all of the currently listed auctions within that radius. Some auction companies have mailing lists and
you can request to be placed on a mailing list so that you are provided with a
postcard or email notifying you of upcoming auctions.
Now whether you are a DIY’er with an objective or you are a wannabe DIY’er and seek ideas for making your own creations there are numerous popular websites that have the DIY’er in mind and three of those sites are Pinterest, Etsy, and the DIY Network. Pinterest is a website where people can post anything that is creative, innovative, enriching or as the website states, “Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard.” Pinterest has a DIY and Crafts category that focuses on do-it-yourself projects specifically. Etsy is an online marketplace where only homemade items can be sold so all of the super creative DIY’ers can list and sell their items and actually make money doing what they enjoy. The DIY Network website focuses on the larger scale do-it-yourself projects that are much more involved like complete home renovations including plumbing, electrical, etc.
Whatever your level of DIY ambition is, auctions are your
ultimate resource to complete those projects.
Auctions are plentiful and full of items that you can buy at a great
price. Part of being a DIY’er is that
you are taking on a project that you have a personal investment in and when you
finally complete it, it is a great feeling of accomplishment. Look for auctions today so that tomorrow you
are one step closer to that accomplishment.
