Here it is!!! Let the train keep rollin! Fez _________________ Dell's online auctions go live next week By Michael Kanellos Staff Writer, CNET News.com July 13, 1999, 11:30 a.m. PT Dell Computer will launch its online auctions next week, an element in its far-ranging strategy to diversify. Like other PC makers, Dell is experimenting with its traditional business model in an effort to expand what it sells and where it sells it. Earlier this year, the company opened Gigabuys, an online store featuring products from other manufacturers, and it started to pre-load the Linux operating system on it computers. Internet services under the Dell name launched in Europe this summer and will come to America soon. Dell's auction site, which will be associated with Gigabuys, will at first feature refurbished computer equipment but eventually new products, sources have said. The products put up for auction will be offered by third parties as is done on eBay, but products will also in all likelihood be made by Dell itself. GigabuysAuction.com, GigAuction.com, as well as DellAuction.com have been registered by Dell over the last few months. The company, however, has not commented on the eventual name of the auction service.
