Bid4Assets Online Auction

It’s another sign of the times: the webpages at Bid4Assets.com are chock-a-block with land parcels, luxury condos and Lamborghinis, ready for your bid. The Silver Spring, Md.-based online auction site that specializes in surplus government assets looks to be on track for its stated goal of profits by year’s end (see “Going, Going, Gonzo” in our Web Business 50 issue at www.printlinks.com). It’s not just fancy sports cars seized from drug dealers either. Auction items also include real estate from defaulted loans or back taxes.
