We know that you want the highest price for your assets. We also know that to win your business we have to pay the best prices and deliver the best service.
A lot of companies in Europe use auction houses to dispose of assets. Believing this to be the most transparent, convenient, and best route, however in some cases this is not the whole story. Some auction houses and other disposal routes are aware of their customers wanting the conveniency and can take advantage of this.
There are disadvantages with some auction houses and disposal agencies.
There can be extortionate buyer’s premium fee which we have seen up to 50% of the hammer price at auctions, which bidders take into account, therefore supressing the price.
In addition, many companies and organisations fail to factor hidden disposal costs, these include:
• Cost of transport to the auction or disposal agency.
• Drivers time and return fare.
• Buyer’s Premium.
• No price guarantees.
• No guarantee of environmentally friendly disposal.
• Not meeting the reserves that you have been advised you will achieve knowing that once they have the assets in their possession you will not look for another route. Has this ever happened to you?
