We’ve all seen the drama of an auction on TV – the auctioneer with their quick fire speech, waving hands and pointing fingers – but what is an auction and what are the key benefits?
The atmosphere at auctions is energizing. Buyers get motivated very quickly to perform. They get caught up in the competitive bidding and many times the price of items is driven higher. For some buyers it’s a game. They want to win at any cost (or hopefully for you, at high costs!) And did you know that 9 times out of 10 an auction generates the fair market value, if not more, for any item falling under the hammer.
There is nothing more thrilling and exciting than an auction. Crowds of people competing for items combined with a lively auction chant makes for some great entertainment and fun

Our auctions are the most unique and inexpensive way of selling almost any type of personal property.
