Assettrader Exposes Nigerian Scam 04/02/2009

Online Auctions (to Be Modified) 04/02/2009
According to Herodotus, the legendary historian and traveler, the only way to find yourself a wife in 500 B.C. Babylon was to purchase one through an auction process. Auctions of women for marriage were held every year. Not only it was considered a standard practice, but it was also illegal to ‘sell’ your daughter outside this method. Nowadays, we are happy to say that the auction business model has finally become respectful of human rights - if you do not count the man who, utterly sick of his mother-in-law, tried to sell her on eBay under “Collectables and Weird Stuff”. Jokes apart, auctions are a very popular way to set up a business or just empty your garage. In f...

Rouble Trouble – The Benefits Of Buying Used Equipment 04/02/2009
<b>Russian company owners turn to the used market as a result of rouble depreciation and negative economic forecasts</b> The first quarter of 2009 is bringing about a strong devaluation of the rouble, due to Russia’s attempt to adjust to lower oil prices and a bleak economic outlook. Last year, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev described 31-32 roubles to the dollar as a “red mark” that could have been violated as the credit crunch was triggering an ongoing currency depreciation. He was right, because the rouble went past the 32 mark on 15th January – for the first time in modern history. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Devel...

Green Is The New Grey 04/02/2009
<b>Buying used industrial equipment is becoming the new green ethos for more and more companies that want to cut on their carbon footprint and reduce costs at the same time.</b> Nowadays, the green ethos is no longer a fashionable minority talk: it is a reality advocated by hundreds of government spokesmen, customers, shareholders and international pressure groups.
