Assist2Auction Continued ...
Frank Ross, who writes very intelligent posts on home business, added some comments on the Assist2Auction franchise "opportunity". Specifically:
1. The amount of time it would take to individually list a van full of junk ... er, stuff. We can be certain that the franchise isn't going to do it for them. And the offer of software is pretty meaningless. Software is great for submission, yes, but somebody has to take the pictures, somebody has to write the copy, etc.
2. Franchises are usually assigned territories. As Frank rightly comments: "That would mean you would probably be restricted to a certain limited area to work in. Unless the area is densely populated, you would eventually run out of potential customers or your growth would slow significantly."
Check out Frank's full review.

Comments
There are so many 'opportunities' around us --- and most of them aren't worth a hill of beans, as my granny used to say. This is a great example. The upfront costs of this loser of an idea will put the poor person who invests in this in a hole that he'll never get out of. Personally, I think the market for eBay consignment is vastly overrated. I've been a trading assistant for almost two years and I've made about $300 off that part of my business. If I had to rely on consignment to buy the groceries, I'd starve to death!
Thanks for such a great story. I hope you've saved some people who might have invested in this turkey.
