Auktionsfynda.se, a search engine for auctions

Now, when the Google-controversy is finally over, it feels great to once again be able to focus on the things that I enjoy doing. Developing websites and fun new concepts!

Today I'm proud to launch a brand new website. Auktionsfynda.se, Sweden's first search engine specifically for auctions!



At the moment, we index five Swedish auction websites (Metropol, Auktionshuset, Lauritz, Brabud och Tradera) but a bunch of other auction houses will be added to our index in the coming weeks. I think Auktionsfynda has every possibility to become a popular Swedish website. If you didn't know, auctions are a big deal.

I'm developing this website with two friends: Henrik Berggren and David David Kjelkerud. For me personally this is a bit of a new step.



Henrik and David caught my attention at 24 hour business camp, where they developed Listentoblogs.com together with Eric Wahlforss of Soundcloud.com.



About a week ago Henrik and David also released the the super-sleek website Citysounds.fm which is perhaps the coolest mashup I've ever seen developed in less than 24 hours. (It took them 15 hours to be exact.) As you understand, I'm happy to work with these people!



Moreover, we have recruited another excellent person for Auktionsfynda. My mother.



Neta is actually a veteran in the auction business; for more than a decade she ran an antique store in Stockholm called Tidlös Antik. My mother will be in charge of the Auktionsfynda blog, writing about auctions, giving people hands-on advice on how to make good bargains, and answering peoples auction-related questions. A lot like John Pohlman does at Klart.se, but hopefully a bit more entertaining for regular people.
