Who we sell for and how we sell vehicles and equipment:
- Individuals
- Estates
- Companies
- Municipalities
- Lending institutions
- and more!
Our auction process can be full-service or seller managed remotely. Sellers, also, have the option to drop-off vehicles at our facility to allow ease of preview to the auction participants. All of our online only auctions are meant to be as hassle-free as possible. Additionally, we handle all marketing in-house and provide customer service to auction participants (bidders). If you are looking for a hassle-free means of large-scale vehicle liquidation, selling from your location is tailor-made for you.
Our highly experienced team will offer the following services:
- All vehicles will be professionally photographed and cataloged at their current location, thus eliminating the daunting task of coordinating the moving of vehicles.
- An aggressive marketing campaign will be launched to ensure widespread publicity for your event.
- Previewing of the items will take place at your location during set days and times determined by you or can be completely online only.
- All administrative aspects of the auction will be handled by our team at the Auction Center. This includes posting and marketing the auction, customer questions, invoicing and payment collection.
- After the auction, successful bidders will be instructed to pick up their purchases at your location by the deadline we arrange with you prior to the auction.
Selling your vehicle fleet via online auction has several advantages:
- Vehicles sold remotely do not have to be moved, which is not only more convenient and less costly, it also minimizes the potential for damage.
- Vehicles can be previewed at your location, at specific times, with minimal impact to you. Subsequently, holding the auction at our facility will enable us to provide you with our full range of customized auction services, thus ensuring the most professional selling experience possible.
Over the years, we have found that auctioning onsite at your location has not had an adverse effect on the prices attained for the merchandise. Time and time again, experience has shown that serious buyers will demonstrate their interest regardless of whether the merchandise is present at the auction facility or is instead offered through the use of specific previewing times at a remote location.
Perhaps the best example of this is the Annual Dutchess County Surplus Vehicle & Equipment Auction. We have successfully auctioned hundreds of vehicles and other types of municipal equipment for the various districts of Dutchess County, none of which had to be moved from their locations until their happy new owners came to pick them up. If you are interested in hearing more about how we can offer the same service to your organization, give us a call!
