Several Pennsylvania newspapers ran auctions with software provided by CityXpress Corp., the vendor said.

The Beaver County Times, Williamsport Sun-Gazette and The Patriot-News in Harrisburg conducted auctions last month.

Since 2003, Pennsylvania newspapers have hosted 47 auctions by 31 newspapers, CityXpress said. The auctions sold more than 14,700 products valued at nearly $9 million, according to data compiled by the vendor.

Meantime, the San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News and sister Bay Area newspapers last month launched a one-week online dealer auction on CityXPress’ Xpress Cars platform. The auction, CarSearch 360, was the first online auto-only sale hosted by a newspaper in the state of California, CityXpress said.
