Why the Auction Method of Marketing?
The auction method of marketing speeds up the selling process of your personal property, forcing buyers to deal with a deadline by giving them a specific date, time and place for the sale. It usually takes only 2 to 4 weeks to market for an auction depending on the type of auction being conducted.
The auction method is quick and complete in scope, rather than drawn out over several days and it permits the market pricing to be set by the buying public. Auctions are interesting, "people events" and have been for centuries. In fact, it's hard to imagine anything that is not sold at an auction!
Auctions are as modern as today's technology yet as old as mankind. Recorded history describes auctions around 500 B.C. The "Oxford English Dictionary" of 1595 is the earliest English reference to the auction. And everything has been selling well at auction ever since. In fact, the auction can be the best place to buy what you are looking for - or sell what you have - at a fair market price! We are one of the top antique auction houses in CNY!
