There is new web site devoted to using the Auction Method of buying or selling. In todays market this may be a way of buying or selling that many investors are not aware of.
It is worth a visit to ask questions of Professional Auctioneers to find out if their services fit into your creative investing methods.
This reminds me, I found a very interesting book on a successful real estate auction business. For anyone interested in the subject - checkout “Churches, Jails, and Gold Mines: Mega-Deals from a Real Estate Maverick” by Steven Good. Here is the link to it on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Churches-Jails-Gold-Mines-Mega-Deals/dp/0793177480/
