WELCOME to all our New & Existing White Elephant Members.

It's been a hard slog since we first started this site but we've hung in there and we are gradually building things up. Thanks to the wonderful members we have helping us all the way, we're getting there.

If you have a business or you are a home based business, even if you have everyday things or odds and sods to sell - Please list it at WEA right now! We really could use as many listings as possible, the more items we have on offer the more new members we can attract to this site. In recent weeks our daily traffic to White Elephant Auctions ( WEA ) has increased by 100% so please take this opportunity to get your items seen by those visiting us.

Also, please keep spreading the word about WEA to friends, family, co-workers or anyone else you know, they’re all welcome to join the WEA online experience - the more the merrier. With your support we can succeed in giving those other ‘big’ auction sites a run for their money.

Thanks again for supporting us and hope you will be a part of the WEA online auction experience for many years to come!

Cheers & Happy Auctions

The White Elephant Team

Hello to all,

Once a month we try and bring you new features to make your selling and buying online easier. Unfortunately during our routine Database maintenence operations, and new feature add-ons the White Elephant database was accidently deleted resulting in a total loss of our website.

Luckily we have been able to restore our website to a certain point from a previous backup of our database. Some of the images in the current listings we were able to retrieve, others unfortunately are broken and will need to be replaced with new images in any of your listings you may have that are active on our site.

We deeply appologize for this inconvenience, it is a major setback for us but hopefully with your support we can build things back up again and become even better than we were before.

Best Regards.
