2. Preparation

2.1 This is my first auction -- where do I start?
2.2 What are the standard auction rules?
2.3 What the heck is an "auctionbot"?
2.4 What's the best time of year to hold an auction?
2.5 How should I price my opening bids?
2.6 Should my opening bids be at or below my break-even point?
2.7 Will a low (or no) opening bid get more bidders involved?
2.8 I found four Galaxy Explorers for $20 each -- should I sell them all at once?
