Auctions At Your Site
When dealing with
larger estates and liquidation’s, it may be more practical to hold the
auction at your site. We have the equipment and know how to get the
job done right. We have two trucks with auction toppers, portable PA
systems, wireless computer systems to handle up to 3 auction rings at
the same time and a mobile office. Plus, trailers and tables to show
your items properly. We offer same day settlements for most auctions.
We have worked with sellers who wanted to do the
bulk of the set up for their auction and we have worked with sellers
who gave us the keys to the property and had
us set up the entire sale. Whatever your needs, we can help you pick a
plan that is best for you. Advertising is a
separate charge for an on site auction. There is no out of pocket
expense, we place and pay for the ads and deduct them
from your check. We make recommendations as to where to advertise and
you can either add, reduce, or use our
suggestions. We print our auction flyers “in house” in either color or
black and white. This allows us to make them as
needed and eliminates waste and saves you money. We also pre-sort our
mailings. Your auction flyer can be mailed
1st class for 33 cents a piece. The most common asked question by
people when choosing an auctioneer is “what is
your commission rate?” There are too many variables to have standard
rate. We will charge you a rate that allows us
to give you a 1st class job. Assume your auction is conducted properly
and the gross sales amount is $20,000. If
your auctioneer charges 10% your check before advertising would
$18,000. Now assume you picked an auctioneer who
charged 8% but cut corners and the auction only grossed $19,000. Your
check before advertising would be
$17,480. In this case, paying less commission would cost you $520. You
see, choosing an auction company based on the percentage
they charge is not a good idea.
We would be happy to come to you
for a no cost, no obligation consultation.
