Storage Fee charged weekly -FEE
Why are YOU paying a storage fee? it’s not as if your items forced the auctioneer to purchase additional storage space? Storage is just a part of their business. They need to maintain storage space just to stay in business.
|
Your item is not being STORED, it’s being SOLD!
No Storage Fees, ever while item is on sale -FREE

Insurance Fee (up to 5%) -FEE
Many auctioneers actually make money off their “insurance fee”. If you have $30,000 of insured items each week, that’s over $1,000/week in “fees”. Yet they only need to keep $50,000 insurance coverage per year, and this costs only a few thousand dollars/year.
|
We take care of our customer’s stock, and it is covered in our standard store coverage for theft, damage, & fire.
Insurance is included – FREE

Consignment |
| Your item may sell for well below market value, even below wholesale, in fact, almost given away. |
Your item will be sold for a known price. We sell retail, and wholesale, in some cases world-wide. You never risk giving it away. |

Consignment |
| An auction is often the last sale venue for an item. |
If an item doesn’t sell, there is always time to move it to an auction, and we can place it in the most appropriate auction at preferred rates, still ensuring you get best prices. |
| Auction |
Consignment |
| Excellent resource for liquidating assets quickly at, or below, wholesale prices. Rarely do you get full value, but it does all sell immediately. |
Excellent resource for SELLING your items, with leisure and confidence. Wouldn’t you rather SELL than liquidate? |
| Auction |
Consignment |
| You will wait for payments up to 40 days after the SALE is held. |
We release payments first of every month. Even if an item sell on the 27th day of this month, payment is made on the 1st business day of the next month. In some cases this may mean you get paid 5 days after an item is SOLD. We don’t play with your money, it’s yours. |

Often we forget the little guy, the SMB, in our discussions of the comings and goings of the Internet marketing industry. Sure there are times like this when a report surfaces talking about their issues and concerns but, for the most part, we like to talk about big brands and how they do the Internet marketing thing well or not so well.
