Barry Bonds Baseball - Trading Assistant Promotions at their Best

I just wanted to highlight the power of teaming up with partners to promote a high profile auction. The professional trading assistant company, Auctionwire will be auctioning off Barry Bonds 715 home run baseball for their client. Auctionwire has teamed up with Mpire (an online auction management company for eBay sellers and trading assistants) to help promote this auction via this special auction promotion page. Even eBay has jumped on the promotion bandwagon on this one and has created a unique URL, http://www.ebay.com/715.

This is an excellent example of marketing your client's unique items. Even smaller TA's can use marketing to highlight their unique auctions through Press Releases and teaming up with partner sites. A little marketing creativity can go a long way. I know I will be watching this auction to see what the final value ends at. It should bring in a nice commission! ;-)
