Memories of Love was founded in loving memory of Marty Gottlieb. Marty was a Jacksonville Florida native, husband and father of two young children, reserve officer in the United States Army , University of North Florida graduate and at the age of 25 opened Martin Gottlieb & Associates (MGA). MGA employed more than 150 and is the physician billing office for over 10% of Emergency Department visits in the state of Florida.



As a businessman Marty was an innovator-responsible for a computerized charting system currently utilized by many hospitals across the country. Honored at his young age by many civic organizations for his compassion and generosity to benefit community health, family, juvenile justice , and to send pizzas to military troops around the world, just because he believed it would make their day a little bit better.



Marty died at age 32, but not before he captured some of the regal beauty of the country he loved, and the many faces of his young family through his gift of photography. Memories of Love Foundation was co-founded by his father, Mel Gottlieb and Henri Landwirth. This foundation is a legacy to the simplicity of a good man, who loved his family, his country, lived a very short, but very full life. We remember him with love.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



PR Log (Press Release) – Jan 31, 2010 – Have you ever enjoyed the excitement of an auction? Auctions exist in many forms and are as diverse as the people who participate in them. I’m sure we have all heard of home auctions and police impound auctions. These can be great places to score amazing deals on high-end items.



A new craze has been gripping the internet as of late. Most people are familiar with many of the online discount retailers. Amazon, Ebay and Overstock offer very competitive prices on a large variety of items. New to the internet shopping market are penny auctions. Penny auctions are quickly becoming one of the best methods for purchasing all sorts of items at the lowest prices anywhere. Many of these items will sell for just pennies and auction winners continually walk away with the latest and greatest gifts without draining their bank accounts.



Swoopo was one of the first and is now one of the best-known penny auction sites on the internet. Other sites such as BidRodeo,swoopbug, NitroBids and BidTix have since popped up. Each site provides a slightly different type of penny auction experience. But most of the products that are found on each of those sites can be found on the others as well. If the product you are looking for is not there when you initially visit the site, give it some time; the auctions are constantly updated with new products. So if you look around, you are bound to find the item or items that you are seeking.



Using these sites can be a great way to save hundreds of dollars on high end items for the home or for gifts. Many people with limited budgets are finding that they are able give better gifts and have the latest in technology without breaking the bank.



Each auction site requires the creation of an account. Some auction sites such as Nitrobids will give you free bids just for becoming a member. These free bids can be used in any of their auctions and could help you to win big. The prices of the bid packages very slightly from site to site with larger bid packages being sold for an increasing percentage off with each successively larger package. Try looking into buying one of larger bid packages for the best value. With a large amount of bids, you increase your chances of winning exponentially and help you to win not just one item, but multiple, high-value prizes.



Penny auctions are a smart investment. Purchase just one bid pack for $10, $20, or even $100 and you could walk away with thousands of dollars with gifts for others or for yourself. Buy a big-screen LED TV with a surround sound system to watch the big game or get the latest game system such as a Wii, Xbox or PS3 to enjoy with good friends and family.

Exciting new Auction site

The newest and most exciting penny auctions on the internet today.

Where to begin, here seems to be a mass rebellion going on with respects to ebay and their consistant policy changes, outragious listing fees and reign of terror pointed at their members. people are fed up with their bulying tactics. But they are doing nothing about it buy complaining.
Each time a new auction site appears the poeple have a chance to kick eBay to the curb, but they don't they just sit back and gripe. Why? because Ebay has the traffic and they know it, they depend on the greed of their members and know that as long as they have the traffic they can do as they chose and the membership  will just take it.
What people do not understand is that they have the power to make ebay conform, by simply getting behind some of these new auction and classified sites. They don't even have to abandon ebay at the beginning. they can keep their store and revenue flowing while at the same time listing some items on the new auction sites and spreading the word. Soon these new sites will have the traffic necessary to support the revenue stream needed to kick ebay to the curb. The membership( buyser and sellers at ebay have the power if they would just use it. wouldn't it be nice to say hey i will not tollerate it and hang up on them for once, or put them on hold.

One such Auction site that has a chance is Profitsharingauction.com. They have a frsh new approach to the auction and classified markets. Unlike all the other Auction sites who have advertised free listings, Profitsharingauction.com has gone a few steps further by offering free listings, free store fronts, and creating a revenue sharing program for it's members.. take a look see at http://www.profitsharingauction.com/ or visit http://www.showbidz.com/.  give them the opportunity to help you kick ebay to the curb.it costs you nothing to lend your support by listing a few items and spreading the word around.
And now with breaking news update, showbidz.com had partnered with http://www.swoopbug.com/ to provide a well rounded auction experience to the public.

For years Ebay and payPal have dominated the market, we at http://www.traderickswholesale.com/ are so glad to be able to say adoo to these tirents of the internet.( see ebay and paypal complaints to read the horror stories behind these two companies) but now there is hope beyond the horizon Bonanzle the rising start

The first Saturday morning of each month, licensed auctioneer Walt Kolenda holds live auctions on the Web. Buyers usually show up early to inspect the goods and ask "Auction Wally" questions through a live chat window. From the comfort of his home in Barre, Mass., Kolenda calls the action over a real-time podcast, taking bidders, offering bundle deals, and calling attention to the rarity of a set of antique postcards or the craftsmanship of a piece of ornate glassware.
Like many thrift stores and estate sellers, Kolenda has benefited from strapped consumers, many of whom have cleaned out their attics in search of valuables that might help pay the bills. "I can't keep up with what I'm doing because so many people are coming to me looking for advice on how to sell their items," Kolenda says.
The first advice he gives most sellers: Leave eBay (EBAY). Since 1999, Kolenda relied on the popular site that pioneered online auctions. But he says changes eBay made to its platform in recent years have hampered the ability of smaller sellers like him to compete with larger wholesalers who use the site as a clearinghouse to sell large amounts of goods at fixed prices. "Now, they want to be a big box [store]," Kolenda says. The changes that turned him away include higher fees for listing each item, the removal of a feature that allowed sellers to negatively rate buyers, and the elimination of all transaction methods other than PayPal, a payment service eBay owns.
Built-In Chat Feature
In September, Kolenda set up shop at Bonanzle, one of several niche online marketplaces that have sprung up to serve the growing number of online merchants who are leaving eBay out of frustration. Bonanzle was launched in June 2008 by Seattle computer programmer Bill Harding, who wanted to re-create the social dealmaking experience of a garage sale online. Anyone can sign up for a free Bonanzle "booth," a page where a seller displays items and interacts with visitors using a built-in chat feature. Sellers can easily reward good customers with markdowns, or hold regular "bonanzas"—events where all of their products are on sale.
Relying just on word-of-mouth buzz, the site has attracted some 35,000 registered users, a number Harding says has grown about 50% each month. Bonanzle collects small fees from each item that's sold—the company takes $1 for items that sell at an average price of $28.50, for example—and the site has facilitated tens of thousands of transactions so far. In February, Bonanzle says it turned its first profit, although it won't reveal how much.
By comparison, eBay posted its first-ever quarterly sales decline in January, when CEO John Donahoe admitted that he was "frustrated" with the performance of the business despite making several major changes to the site. Its fourth-quarter earnings report cited a 4% gain in active users over the previous year, to 86.3 million. But reader comments to a Jan. 22 BusinessWeek article, "eBay Sales: Going, Going…" told a different story. More than 200 current and former eBay sellers stated that they were abandoning the site because of the changes Donahoe has made.
