We perform many duties in the course of selling your property:
we advertise in newspapers and on the radio, we maintain fax, phone and e-mail lists
of special buyers. We also take special care in setting up the merchandise for advance viewing,
register bidders and co-ordinate absentee bids. While the Auctioneer
calls the bids, the office staff constantly manages the sale paperwork
and data entry, checks out the customers and collects payments.
We sell quality merchandise in our auctions so if
you want top dollar for your items please ensure your items are cleaned
and in good working order and has all the parts available. We take
care of the rest. You can consign your items to be sold at auction for
a % fee, or you can ask us about a buy out of your items.
