On Line Auctions

On-Line Auctions have now become common place and in many cases have replaced the Original In Room Live Auction with an auctioneer conducting the sale of 'Lots' to the Highest Bidder. The convenience of the Online Auction has enable what would have been a 'Local Event' with perhaps some buyers travelling from far afield to participate to a now 'Global Arena' with remote buyers purchasing without visiting the sale venue or inspecting the lots prior to purchase. The On-line Auction process brings Assets / Sale Lots to the market when working within a limited time frame. The process encourages competitive bidding and offers a smooth route for vendors to divest in a managed and secure sales environment.

Negotiated Sales or Private Treaty

Originally known as Private Treaty Sales, the terminology has changed now to 'Negotiated Sale' this term we believe better describes the sale process where the vendors agent in this case Gavel Valuers & Auctioneers will enter into a series of negotiations in order to arrive at a final 'Sales Figure' upon which all parties are agreed. In most cases the Negotiated Sale process is used for more complex Equipment, Complete Production Plants / facilities or Lines and where the removal or dismantling of the plant or equipment may be complex. Inevitably the 'Negotiated Sale' of assets can be a much longer process than alternative methods and fraught with challenges to enable completion.

Sealed Bid Tender

Sealed Bid Tenders have their place in the disposal process usually used for sales where an On-Line or Negotiated Sale process is inappropriate and where the Vendor or his agent prefers to invoke Competitive Bidding without making public what the interested parties are prepared to pay. The Tender process can be used where a final completion date is also required.
