2 Bid Buy Sold Auctions was founded in 2006 by Brad Ballantine. This was an extremely important transitional time in the auction industry, with most auction companies closing down their live auction facilities and moving their operations to an online only format. This industry shift towards online only auctions left a huge void in the market place, especially with assets which do not sell successfully online. There was a huge volume of consumers who regularly attended traditional live public auctions, and they were discarded or left behind if they did not wish to participate in online auctions. It was stated by many major competitors that traditional live auctions were no longer viable, and Bid Buy Sold have proven the industry wrong time and time again. Bid Buy Sold also have the knowledge, staff and facilities to market and sell goods online when the asset is deemed more suitable to do so. Bid Buy Sold Auctions are attended by hundreds of buyers and are promoted to the highest possible level. GENERAL PROFILE AND COMPANY INFORMATION DEDICATED LIVE PUBLIC MONTHLY AUCTIONS 2 X MONDAY CATERING & HOSPITALITY EQUIPMENT, GROCERIES & CONSUMABLE AUCTIONS 2 X SUNDAY HOMEMAKERS/ RENOVATORS AUCTIONS 4 X TUESDAY COMPUTERS, MOBILE PHONES & OFFICE EQUIPMENT AUCTIONS 4 X THURSDAY GENERAL AUCTIONS MANY PRODUCTS CANNOT BE SOLD ONLINE THERE IS A STRONG AND CONTINUING DEMAND FOR TRADITIONAL AUCTIONS. Bid Buy Sold s traditional auctions provide a marketplace and an opportunity for a large percentage of the market that do not participate in Online Auctions for the following reasons. A majority of buyers don t have the confidence given the amount of online fraud. It is a lot harder to buy some goods online and photos sometimes don t show the true value of the goods. At live auction there is greater access to a larger ranger of items which can be bought in one day without the added costs of expensive online freight charges. Large items bought online generate expensive freight charges which add extra costs to the initial purchase price of the goods. A large percentage of buyers don t have the same confidence bidding online as they do at live auction they can see who they are bidding against at a live auction. Damaged goods, factory seconds, returned stock, furniture and household items need to be well inspected and assessed before purchase. A large percentage of the market, still enjoy the thrill and excitement of bidding at a live auction this strong competition generates higher returns for our vendors. Online Auctions in most circumstances attract freight charges for every item and in some cases, higher buyers premiums greatly reduces the vendors returns.
