Expenses of an Auction

Of course we are in the auction business to make money, so we are forced to charged for our service. However, because of the way we do things, the expense of the auction is rarely noticed by the seller. Normally there is no money required up front. All expenses and fees are taken from the gross sale of the auction after the auction is over. This makes it easier for the seller because there are no initial out-of-pocket expenses.

Each auction we do is unique and needs to be handled in different ways to provide the best quality auction for the seller. Because of this, the expenses and fees may vary. We bid each auction separately depending on the items to be sold and location availability. Estate Auctions and Business Liquidations are best done on-site if possible. However, in some cases, the auction must be moved to our Auction House or a nearby hall because of local law restrictions or inadequate site facilities.
