Fees that we charge are always based on the successful conclusion of a sale there are no upfront costs or hidden charges, and we never act as a dealer or principal to ensure that there is no conflict of interest it’s always a win-win situation

SUSTAINABILITY IS AT THE HEART OF OUR OPERATIONS

The auction industry plays an important role in accelerating the growth of the circular economy with the evolution of online auctions facilitating the market for second-hand goods. Our services ensure that millions of items are resold for re-use or repurpose each year, extending their value within the economy and preventing waste.

Recent research shows auctions allow individuals to reduce their personal emissions by purchasing used items rather than buying new. They could save over half a tonne (560kg) of carbon emissions by buying one second-hand sofa, 460kg by buying a second-hand dining table, or 800kg by purchasing a mechanical wristwatch secondhand rather than new. The impact of these savings is particularly striking when compared with individuals’ annual carbon footprint, with the average person in the UK emitting 13 tonnes per year, and 16 tonnes per year in the US.

Auctions create a sense of urgency that changes the dynamics of the purchase decision immediately, It is vital to understand this shift, It reverses the buyer’s perspective in favour of the seller.

The purchaser’s primary concern now has shifted from “what is the least I can pay” to “what is the most I can pay and still have value.” This is incredibly significant in achieving a market price.

A successful auction process can effectively consolidate a year’s worth of marketing into four weeks of highly profitable advertising targeted at prospective buyers.. As a result, the risk versus reward concept is more relevant to today’s business environment than the time vs. money equation.

The auction process makes for a smooth and uncomplicated closing by eliminating endless negotiations and contingencies.

WE DON’T JUST TALK FAST, WE ACT FAST

Auctioneers solve problems, not just talk fast; they’re proud of helping their clients find solutions; they’re experts at dispersing assets in a strategic manner. At the mere mention of auction, people hear the rhythmic cadence of an auctioneer’s trademark bid call.

Contrary to public perception, talking fast isn’t our specialty. Professional auctioneers are marketing specialists who use product knowledge, technology and advanced advertising to promote the assets they are charged with selling.

Auctioneers have the tools and knowledge needed to create a portal that connects buyers and sellers through their expertise in the psychology of selling. The public perception of auctioneers is that they “all talk fast”, but the truth is that they spend one percent of their time captivating their audience with their famous chants, and 99 percent of their time marketing, building, and managing the auction successfully for their clients.
