Our Company

We have tens of thousands of registered bidders and email subscribers in 40+ countries — and we’ve shipped winnings worldwide!

We’re proud to be part of a global community of buyers and sellers. Every week, we host auctions featuring rare and unique treasures you won’t find anywhere else — with incredible deals that can only be found when you get to name your own price.

We are proud to be an International Auction House with customers across the globe!

Our Process

We pride ourselves on selling inventory in a quick, easy, efficient, and profitable manner.

For our sellers, we strive to be your auction services expert from start to finish when it comes to the selling of both personal property and commercial equipment. No job is too big or too small, whether you’re providing a few pieces of quality inventory to one of our regular monthly consignment auctions or if you need an entire estate or business clean out and all of the inventory liquidated.

We provide the planning, marketing and selling expertise to make sure that our clients receive top dollar for whatever it is they’re selling. With over a decade's worth of marketing, advertising, sales and business development background, we know how to reach the broadest base of targeted bidders to actively compete in our auctions.

Our modern approach is easy & fast. After the auction, we mail checks in 7-14 business days on average! Our Process >>

Our clients don’t have to deal with the hassle and headache of selling their items themselves online and having to deal with the spammers, no call / no shows and possible dangerous personal encounters there are to consider.

You also don’t have to waste an entire week preparing for a garage sale, only to then sit and waste your entire weekend, just to get nickle and dime offers on your inventory and deal with the frustration of haggling with people on stuff you just want to get rid of as easily and quickly as possible.

When done correctly, the auction method of marketing and sales is one of the truest methods of price discovery for a piece of inventory or collection of items. Bringing open, honest, transparent, ethical, efficient, fast and fun auctions to our clientele is what we hold at the core of each of our auction events.

We bring the industry’s newest means of technology and business partners that help engage our users and focus in their attention to each and every auction we host for live in-person auctions, online auctions or simulcast versions of both. Our Process >>

Thank you very much for your time and we look forward to connecting with you soon, and as always, best of luck on your bids! Our Services >>
