1

LIVE WEBCAST

Online auctions via webcast still feature a live auctioneer, enabling buyers to bid in real-time, without geographical barriers. With the marketplace opened up, sellers can expect fair market value and overcome local market conditions.

2

TIMED ONLINE

Unlike webcasts, timed auctions present items via a sales catalog with each item listed individually. Bidders still bid against one another in real-time, but the sale closes at a set time on a specific date, with all lots sold and no reserves. These auctions do not have a live auctioneer.

3

ONSITE

Traditional on-site auctions are paired with an online webcast. Interested buyers are able to physically preview assets at the auction site and participate in a charged bidding atmosphere with a professional auctioneer. Remote bidders join via webcast, where they participate in the live auction and bid in real-time against in-person bidders.
