WHY waste time with the rest when you can go straight to the best? Get online for a great deal with AuctionHunter - the exciting on-line auction house in which you can trade from the comfort of your own home!

The recent demise of both e-swap and Humpty Dumpty narrows the choice for would-be online auctioneers. AuctionHunter (www.auctionhunter.co.uk), which is operated by Newsquest, parent company of the Wirral Globe, in conjunction with Auction Universe, welcomes every committed trader who is looking for an easy to use, reliable auction site with a proven track record.

More than 50 per cent of all items listed sell with AuctionHunter.

Our success is based on attention to detail and great customer care. Existing AuctionHunter sellers know that this is the only person-to-person site, operating in £ sterling, where they can list their best quality items and see results. This brings commitment from them and from our growing band of buyers, who know they have a no-fuss way to find what they are looking for.

And just to prove how quick and easy the service can be, AuctionHunter is offering 500 free listings to all our members - new and old - from now until the end of September.

What a bonus! With our Summertime Swap Shop promotion in full swing, now you can clear out your cupboards and try the service out for free. We've all got CDs, tapes, books and videos we don't want any more. Impulse buys, misjudged presents, stuff you've played back or flicked through once too often.

Whether you're dying to get rid of your partner's heavy metal collection or have recently outgrown your Catherine Cookson phase, the Swap Shop is a novel and entertaining way to trade them in for something to suit your current mood.

And if you've 'seen the movie and read the book', this is a great way of converting one-time favourites into extra late holiday cash, or trading them for bargain bodice-rippers to read on the beach.

To make sure your items are included in this mini-promotion, just be sure to use one of the following words in your description: book; CD; tape; record; video!

Join AuctionHunter and join in the fun!
