associations to bring innovation to our auctions and to stay abreast of current events and legislation affecting the industry. We conduct auctions on location, do tailgates, configure online auctions, and do hybrid live/online auctions all of which require a different amount of labor and professional organization. Then there is the value of the items to be sold. Low end items cost more to sell than high end assets and this all must be taken into consideration. Call us for a free consultation.

We specialize in this type of asset. We can come to you, look at the asset, get photos of the asset, an accurate description, and then go to work for you. We actively search out many types of assets that complement each other and group them together for a large enough online event that will draw bidders. Nobody has to stand out in the cold, no one has to travel, it is all very convenient for all involved.

We offer a pick up and delivery service for a fee. This amount is directly related to the number of people it takes to perform the task and the man hours involved to complete the job. Set up on location is charged by the hour, per a written contract with a maximum amount so there are no surprises. We do not charge for the use of our tables, tents or equipment. If we need to rent items, there is no mark up. There is no charge for your auctioneer’s time involved other than the stated commission rate. Set up for an online auction involves a lot of preparation, yet the overall cost can be much less than conducting a live auction. We will present you with the different options available to you.

There are many different methods of disposing of items. You could have a tag sale, a garage sale, consign them to a retail resale shop, donate them, burn them….

The auction method has been used for over 2000 years and is the most effective way to turn assets into cash. Period. There is no better way to receive true market value than at auction with a crowd, bidding competitively, whether the bidders are in a crowd in a live event or gathered to their electronic devices during an online event.

It takes an average of 45 minutes to an hour to take a photo, upload it, type a description, and place all the particulars in an online ad. I’ve done it. It may or may not draw bids. At auction, everything sells, is paid for and is removed in a very short amount of time.

One other significant point about most public auction venues is the snipe bid. Our auction software automatically extends the auction for a significant time if a bid is received within the final minute of the auction, thus allowing an asset to achieve its full potential.

Through organized planning from start to finish, how to attract the right donors, knowing what your crowd will respond to and bid on, having a thorough knowledge of fundraising components, using technology to aid in raising funds, knowledge of additional sources of revenue and their implementation, all are of utmost importance in the raising of funds for your non-profit. We can do as little or as much as you ask us to do. Professional Benefit Auctioneers are experts at making efficient use of all the resources resulting in a smooth, fun, yet profitable event.

In my 32 plus years in the auction business, I have prided myself in my ability to attend multiple auction locations both in person and online. I have networked with the owners, management, auctioneers, clerks, yard and office staff. I try very hard to put myself in other peoples shoes, all the while knowing that without the buyer, you can have no auction.
