Several local artists have utilized an online auction during the aftermath of the devastating typhoon that hit the country last year. They auctioned off designer bags, gowns, shoes and other accessories. They were successful! Some items even sold at prices higher than the original price. The proceeds, of course, went to the different municipalities that were badly affected by the typhoon.

I think online auction was also used to help a friend whose mom was diagnosed with cancer. They used it to raise money to help with the hospital bills.
