We offer our potential
clients a no-cost, no obligation consultation to help both parties gain an understanding
of each other's desires and capabilities. Whether you're looking to have an auction
at your location or another site, we offer a broad range of services to help your auction
succeed. On-site
auctions
At Alliance, we have
the in-house capability to handle on-site auctions from start to finish. With Alliance's
relationships with other industry contacts, no auction is too large for us to handle.
Here's what you can expect...
To get started, we'll provide you with a proposal of our recommendations and a preliminary
budget of fees and expenses. Once we agree on how we can best assist you and the extent of
the services you desire, we'll proceed with defining a timeline and setting an auction
date.
From here, our auction staff will handle inventorying your merchandise and setting it up
for auction day. At the same time, our office team will conduct a custom-tailored
advertising campaign targeted to attract the people most interested in purchasing your
property. Following the inventorying, we'll also prepare a detailed auction catalog for
distribution to potential buyers.
Just prior to auction day, we'll host a presale inspection or "preview" of the
items for sale. This gives buyers an opportunity to inspect the merchandise that will be
offered at the auction.
On auction day, we'll coordinate all the details, from parking and security to collection
of funds and removal of merchandise.
Shortly following the auction, you'll be provided with detailed reports showing
item-by-item sales figures along with a settlement check.
Our auction staff will always strive to "take care of the details" with minimal
inconvenience to you.
Internet
alternatives
There are a multitude
of options available on the internet through various internet auction houses and industry
providers. Below are just a few of the different choices in the current marketplace:
webcasting
sealed bidding
on-line resellers
private treaty sales
limited time bidding
These high tech industry "tools" bring the global marketplace to your doorstep!
Or perhaps you need a
combined approach
For our corporate
clients, many times we'll recommend a combination of services. An on-site auction is
conducted for disposition of certain goods, and the appropriate group of internet
alternatives is selected to liquidate your specialty items.
Each client's circumstances are different, and we can custom-tailor
a group of services to best address your specific situation. |
