3 Advantages of Timed Auctions for Selling Your Equipment:

• Better price performance. With Timed Auctions, we’ve seen auction sale prices increase by 10% in Q1 2021
• More bidders. The number of bidders in Maltby has nearly doubled with Timed Auctions. This means more exposure to your machinery and more competing bidders from all over the world.
• All lots are equal. Whether you’ve got a big or small kit to sell, items are treated equally by the Timed Auction system. Each has a set closing time which is extended until no more bids are placed within 2 minutes.

Bonus Reason

• Time Extensions – As auction time is running down on an item, new bids will result in additional time added to the closing period to give previous or potential bidders an opportunity to place a new bid.
