What are the benefits of selling my assets using the Online Auction method?
Selling assets through an online auction allows Sellers to quickly dispose of standing inventory, cut carrying costs, and receive orders from new trading partners. Sellers also benefit from the extensive marketing campaign an online auction delivers. Furthermore, online auctions draw the highest number of potential buyers by eliminating any barriers to entry. Rather than having to show up at a specific venue on a certain day, bidders can participate from anywhere in the world and from the convenience of their own computer. The seller determines the point of sale and helps arrange inspections as required.

    Can I select who will be able to see my auctions?
    A seller may decide to arrange a Private auction, where the seller maintains a private list of approved bidders. Only pre-approved and invited buyers will be able to see and bid on these assets, at the sellers sole discretion.

    We may make arrangements for bulk upload of assets when volumes justify this option.

    As a seller, you should build trust by providing extensive information, 3. party inspection reports and options whereby prospective bidders may conduct their due diligence. You determine the minimum bid, and set the reserve price. Any buyer has to meet your reserve price in order to win an auction.

    The Escrow service reduces potential fraud risk for buyer and seller alike. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions at all.
