Why oh Why Sell Your Assets at Auction?
For some reason most people we talk to think auction is your last resort. But it is not so. It should be your first option for your valuable assets. Just take a look at the people who auction their items. Most are successful people who know the quality of their items and know everyone is looking for the deal. When it comes to selling your items there are multiple ways open to you. And we know it. You can sell it yourself on Facebook or other social media channels. But lets remember you have to market your items, collect your money and deliver the goods. There are so many pieces of a sale that is handled by the auction company that most people are not aware.
Because Auctions Work!
If you have ever attended an auction you know how the fast pace and urgency of the last minute deal can be. Ever attended a charity event and see items sell way above retail values? Auctions provide a safe convienent place for buyers and sellers to either find the deal or lighten their load. That antique or collectible you know longer have a need or use for will now go to a new owner who will enjoy it for years to come. If you have a need to unclutter or turn your assets into cash, auction is for you. If you inherite and can be overwhelming the amount of things accumulated in a life time. You need the assistance of a professional to sort it out and know what to sell, donate or trash it. Yes, sometimes there is no market for beloved items and they have outlived their usefulness.

Auctions Work in a Good Market or a Bad Market
When the economy is good, people have more discretionary spending money to purchase what they want. When the economy is bad, people are looking to buy what they want and are willing to bid for a bargain.
Fast Talkers or Problem Solvers?
Auctioneers are thought of as fast-talkers. But in reality we are skilled marketers, here to solve your problems. Auctioneers are trained negotiators. In the great State of Texas Auctioneers are licensed after completing their education. Did Grandpa leave you his coin collection or guns, car, boat, trailer or tractor. Or maybe Grandma left you all her large jewelry collection and you can’t find a way to keep it all? That’s where the auctioneer comes in. They evaluate your options and determine the best way to turn your items into cash.
How do you know where to sell your items? Should you hire an estate seller, sell to a resale or antique store, or try to set up your own online business? Wow, there are benefits to all of those solutions. But the auction method is still the least amount of work on your part for the best return. Let the professionals handle it for you.
Why would you price negotiate down instead of up?
Most all other selling methods set a price and if negotiation is possible, the price can be lowered. Estate sales, tag sales and retail shops or stores price tag their items and to get you to buy, they will offer sale prices. With the auction method we start low, I mean really low. Then the auctioneer markets the items and takes offers for sale. We get bidders to competitively bid against one another, so the top bid wins :). Buyers are more educated to values today, the internet is ready to show prices from around the world. They know the values of the items and just what they are willing to pay. This is how we find the market value today for any given asset.
Assets, what are my assets?
Well, here is a short list of the assets we find bring the best values at an auction.
