Why should you use the Auction Method?
Auctions are the best marketing tool you can use!

Contrary to popular belief, Auctions are not distress sales or desperate measures that should be used only in last resort. The auction method of marketing has existed for over 3000 years. For centuries the most valuable art, fastest thoroughbred race horses, vintage collector's cars and virtually anything else of value has all been sold at auction. In 2004 alone, over 203 Billion dollars worth of merchandise was sold using the Auction method. Why? Because savvy sellers don't want to leave any money on the table. Competitive bidding is the only way for any item to reach its highest possible value. Many sellers are discovering the convenience and effectiveness that competitive bidding, found only at an auction, can provide.

Now, give this some thought...

The Better Your Merchandise Is, The More It Belongs In An Auction!!

That's right. The more desirable an Item you have, the more competitive bidding it will produce which in turn means the highest possible monetary return to you. An Auction can put more money in your pocket with less effort, expense and time. Auctions use unique accelerated marketing techniques to sell your assets in a compressed timeframe often of less than six weeks. Auctions can't always work miracles, but they can bring you the current market value for that particular item for that particular day. And they do it faster and more efficiently than any other marketing method ever invented.

Have you ever had someone pay you more than you were asking privately?

It would be nice wouldn’t it? If you were asking only $1000 and someone offered you $1500. Only through the competitive nature of auctions, it is possible for you to receive more money through the auction method than you were asking for the item prior to the sale. Two things make this possible, selling a quality "product" and using a professionally managed Auction.

This is a fact. The more desirable the item you are selling, the better the results.

There is a deep fundamental and psychological difference between a private sale and an auction sale. The psychology of a private individual sale is: "What is the least I can give and still buy the item." Isn't every potential buyer you meet trying to "horse trade" you down on the price?

The psychology of an Auction is: "What is the highest price I am willing to pay to buy it?" Every buyer is constantly thinking about their upper limit. "How much more can I give?" They are not thinking about trying to get your price down, but how much higher they can take their bid up!
