Why auction?

Why should one auction goods when there are countless platforms available to sell? The answer is simple. Auctions bring buyers and sellers together at a predetermined time for the purpose of completing a transaction.

There is nothing more thrilling than an auction. And sellers know that items large and small, expensive and not, are converted into cash — fast — when they are auctioned. Compared to listing an item and waiting weeks or even months for someone to respond (and then negotiate when they do), auctions are a far better option for sellers who want to achieve a fair market value for their goods.

Today, we share the top 3 reasons why you should auction:

•    Auctions are a fast and efficient way to complete a transaction. No more waiting weeks for a response from buyers.

•    Marketing is targeted. You therefore know that the people who have registered (in the case of online auctions) or shown up are truly interested in buying.

•    Tired of people asking for a better price when you list an item for sale? Well, that’s the advantage of an auction. Prices are fair and reflect true market value.
