REACH QUALITY BUYERS
Composing the Auction: To get the best price, consignments need to be placed properly in an auction. A large collectable collection for example may sell best as its own auction, whereas a consignment of tools will do better worked in with other tool consignments to attract the most interested and serious bidders.
With our large storage facility and volume of business we are able to compose auctions that will consistently do better than an unplanned, stand alone auction.
Nationwide database of buyers. Due to our strong internet presence and regional reputation, we are able to directly market your property to interested bidders.
Thousands of registered bidders. Our auctions are very popular, and our computerized registration, both at our facility and online, gives us the ability to directly contact the most interested buyers.
National marketing presence. Our website receives over 100,000 hits a month, and our dedication to having EVERY auction simulcast on the internet has created a strong following of bidders.
A Trusting Bond with Buyers. At the end of the day, getting the best price for items is a function of the bidder’s faith in the auctioneer, that he will fairly represent each item and treat customers with service. For example, we offer a policy on equipment that buyers can test an item before it is removed and if it does not work they can decline the purchase. In the end, these policies lead to more bidders willing to pay the best price, benefiting our consignors and buyers.
