Why Choose an Auction Over Other Sale Formats?
Auctions draw competing bids in one setting, and therefore can be a great way to maximize profits. Whether an auction is a good alternative to other sale formats depends on the circumstances and the types of property involved. Common auction items may include:
- Estates
- Real Property
- Business assets
- Equipment
- Antiques
- Automobiles
- Boats
- Furniture
- Other personal property
