Auctions
|
|
|
|
EquipNet generally recommends auctions to cost effectively clear a large volume
of equipment in a limited amount of time. Depending on the asset class and your
time frame, EquipNet offers a variety of auction options.
|
|
|
- Live and Webcast Auctions.
EquipNet manages the sale of pre-owned, used and unused equipment at a live auction
with online bidders participating remotely via a simultaneous Webcast. Our Live
and Webcast Auctions are often the right option for sellers with significant quantities
of equipment or for companies that are downsizing and need to liquidate equipment
quickly. With a Live and Webcast Auction, EquipNet specialists visit a seller’s
facility to inventory and prepare the equipment and the site for a live auction.
The EquipNet Marketing team promotes the auction to a targeted group of potential
buyers. On auction day, EquipNet auctioneers conduct live bidding at the seller’s
facility and manage the bidding of remote bidders via the webcast. EquipNet collects
and manages distribution of funds and oversees equipment removal. Where a seller’s
facility might not allow for a live, on-site auction, we can conduct all bidding
over the Internet via the webcast.
- EquipNet Online Auction.
EquipNet's Online Auctions are conducted entirely on the web utilizing a "high-bidder-wins"
competitive bidding process to sell pre-owned equipment. The Online Auctions are
hosted on the EquipNet website using our own proprietary auction software. An Online
Auction is often the right option for sellers that want to liquidate assets that
have not sold on the EquipNet MarketPlace™.
- Sealed Bid Offering.
EquipNet offers a seller's pre-owned equipment in a closed or sealed bid environment.
As part of this service, EquipNet markets the items and, when they sell, EquipNet
will manage the payment and shipping. The Sealed Bid Offering is often the right
option for hard-to-move equipment without a lot of potential buyers.
- eBay Store Buy-it-Now.
A Buy-it-Now listing is posted for a month in the EquipNet eBay Store with a price
set at a level that the owner has already approved as an acceptable offer. The Buy-it-Now
option allows sellers to liquidate their items in a timely manner, but still remain
in control of the selling price. In turn, buyers have an opportunity to purchase
pre-owned equipment at a pre-determined, non-negotiable fixed amount at a considerable
cost savings over the price of new equipment.
- eBay Store Seven-day Auction.
The Seven-Day Auction on the EquipNet Store is often the right solution for selling
lower-cost, high-turnover items that would appeal to a broad customer base. Sellers
send us their used equipment and we photograph, inventory, catalog, and post to
the EquipNet eBay store for auction. Remote sellers can choose to supply us with
inventory detail and images and manage their own shipping.

Auctions PlusTM
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, you don't have time to use our traditional auction channels. Companies
that must liquidate assets quickly can choose to take advantage of EquipNet's Auction
PlusTM service. Your surplus and used equipment is sold as part of an
accelerated process:
|
|
|
- Step 1 - Set an auction date and create a "MarketPlace™ Push" listing.
Your high-value items will immediately be listed on the EquipNet MarketPlace™ with
an intensive marketing push designed to sell quickly.
- Step 2 - The Auction.
The assets that do not sell during the MarketPlace™ Push phase will be included
in the pre-scheduled auction.
- Step 3 - Post-Auction MarketPlace™.
While historically, a high percentage of premium assets sell during the MarketPlace™
Push and/or the prescheduled Auction, we will repost your equipment to the MarketPlace™
and market those listings that are not sold during Steps 1 and 2.
