The Auction Process:

Quaker City manages and oversees every element of an auction sale through our successful 10-step auction plan. 

This basic consistent auction approach has enabled us to offer professional, competent auction services. We adapt our contract to each situation, we progressively market the equipment in targeted areas, we offer the equipment in an appealing manner, we utilize our professional auction experience to generate the highest dollar possible and we supervise safe, orderly removal to safeguard the premises.
 

10 Step Successful Auction Plan:

    1) The "deal" begins with a completely confidential, non-committal meeting.  Here, the facts, information and expectations are discreetly discussed.

    2) The next step involves a strategy plan and/or proposal to initiate our involvement.

    3) The signing of the contract or written confirmation is our key to proceed with a defined plan for expenses and timeframe to consummate the sale.

    4) Next we secure the premises, when necessary, and plan the marketing strategy. This includes gathering the pertinent information to prepare the detailed direct mail brochure, plus the newspaper and trade publication ads.  Photographs, if required, are taken. Targeted markets are chosen.  Custom in-house and industry  specific mailing lists are selected.

    5) The field supervisor is introduced onto the premises and the layout of the auction is discussed. Constant management, supervision and attendance is maintained.

    6) The cleaning, sorting and lotting of the assets are carried out by our trained staff. Repairs, painting and maintenance are performed, if necessary, and feasible.

    7) The premises is open for a public inspection by prospective buyers or private inspections are scheduled, prior to the sale.

    8) The auction sale day requires a staff to register, clerk, monitor, secure, safeguard and oversee the smooth operation of the auction. The sale is processed on a computer using our customized auction program.

    9) Sale removal requires auction personnel to admit, oversee, and physically check-out each buyers purchases as they safely and orderly remove their lots.

    10) Once removal is accomplished and the premises is left in the specified condition, settlement with all receipts and accounting is expeditiously carried out according to our contractual agreement. This final phase is precedes our Account of Sale.
