Inventory Liquidation & Auction Services
Traditionally, when organizations need to dispose of a large number of assets for bankruptcy liquidation or surplus to ongoing operations they call in a live auctioneer. Unfortunately, this solution often results in assets being sold for pennies on the dollar.
Today, you have a better choice. By leveraging the worldwide market of eBay with the technical expertise of AccuSource, you will see considerably better returns.
Live auctioneers generally spend only a minute or two with each asset to catalog it and auction it off. When it comes to test equipment assets, they don’t understand the products nor what options, accessories, and modules add value. They often batch assets in odd groups just to save the few seconds it would take to auction them individually.
We, on the other hand, thoroughly evaluate each individual item. When the value of the item warrants it, we test for functionality, clean, recondition, accessorize, and even may provide a warranty to maximize its sale price. We then take multiple pictures, thoroughly describe the item’s features, options and accessories, and upload to eBay for bidders all over the world. Upon sale, we securely pack and ship to the customer using our Instapak foam-in-place system.
This clearly generates a higher sale price than you can expect from a live auctioneer, and with our reasonable fee structure you can count on recovering more capital from your assets. Additionally, you get paid quickly and with the confidence that only a transparent bidding process can provide.
