What Sellers Can Expect
When it comes to liquidating assets efficiently and effectively, Orbitbid offers on-site online auctions. These online auctions combine the power of online bidding with the convenience of selling assets directly from your location. But what exactly does that mean for sellers?
Let’s break it down.
What Is an On-Site Online Auction?
An on-site online auction with Orbitbid means all bidding happens online, giving your items maximum exposure to our nationwide buyer base, but the assets themselves remain at your location throughout the process. Once the auction ends, buyers will be responsible for coming directly to your location to pick up their purchases.
This format is ideal for complete business assets, heavy equipment, vehicles, inventory, or specialty items that are either too large to move or not cost-effective to transport to one of our 4 warehouse locations.
Benefits for Sellers
- No Need to Move Inventory
One of the biggest advantages of an on-site online auction is that you don’t need to transport your items. Whether it’s a fleet of trucks, industrial equipment, or restaurant fixtures, we bring the auction to you, saving you time, effort, and cost. - Streamlined Process with Orbitbid’s Support
Our experienced team handles everything from start to finish: photographing and cataloging your assets, writing descriptions, marketing the sale to targeted buyers, and managing all post-auction communication. We make the process seamless for you! - Maximum Exposure, Competitive Bidding
Just like any Orbitbid auction, your items will be promoted through our extensive marketing network; email campaigns, social media, industry-targeted outreach, and more. Even though the items stay at your location, the auction goes live to bidders across the country, creating a competitive bidding environment. - You Set the Timeline
We work with you to determine the best auction date and pickup schedule. Once the auction is complete, buyers will be given a short window to come to your location for removal, minimizing disruption to your operations.
