Montreal based Mightybids.com is making quite the splash. Reportedly, they’re adding 500 new members a day and an average of 300,000 total auctions at any one time.

Oltiby: Reverse auctions
Oltiby is just another in a long string of eBay alternative auction sites. Or is it? They bill themselves as the reverse online auction site. So, what does that mean? What it means is that instead of sellers listing items and buyers bidding on them, it works in reverse. The buyers create a listing for [...]
Yahoo Auctions
Often overlooked because it isn’t a new site, Yahoo Auctions is still a valuable alternative to eBay. Like many competitors, Yahoo Auctions is limited in auction numbers.
