Why Sell at Auction?
The auction method of marketing anything is the only way to establish true market value. Auctions are as modern as computers, yet as old as mankind. Recorded history describes auctions as early as 500B.C. It’s a win-win situation: For the seller, where else do you have multiple bidders competing aggressively but at an auction? Auctioneers bring buyers together and get the crowd to interact and bid enthusiastically, pushing the final price up to a point where everyone learns its true market value and at a price, both buyer and seller, find satisfactory. For the buyer, you never know when you’re going to find that one-in-a-million piece for the price you’re willing to pay!
