LiquiTec works with our client to identify surplus or non-strategic assets to sell.
We provide recommendations on the best way to bundle, or group, assets to maximize value.
Our sister company, AccuVal, can be independently engaged to determine the expected return from the sale.
Assets are prepared for sale and lots are tagged with easily identifiable numbers.
Sellers either provide descriptions and photographs of each lot or LiquiTec sends our field service crew to gather the sale information for the website.
Sellers determine what minimum prices will be accepted in the sale, if applicable.
Once this sale information is collected, the sale is set up online with an easily navigable lot catalog to guide bidders.
LiquiTec researches the market and devises a targeted strategy to promote the sale and drive traffic to the site. Our approach is always multi-faceted and may include e-mail campaigns, website advertising, industry newsletters, banner advertising, print advertising, direct mail, newspaper advertising, telemarketing, press releases, radio or television.
Once the strategy is approved, our team rapidly deploys the various facets preparing creative advertising campaigns that are engaging, straight-forward and action-oriented, creating demand for the assets.
The impact of the advertising is monitored real-time and is modified, as needed, to ensure it maintains effectiveness. Unique visitors to each lot in the online catalog as well as daily site visitation numbers are watched closely.
Whenever possible, assets are made available for physical inspection. Depending on the client’s preference, viewing of assets may be by appointment only or specified for certain dates.
It is at this time that interested parties should complete their due diligence and satisfy any questions they have about the assets being sold since they are being offered “as is, where is.” Questions can be asked during the inspection or emailed to LiquiTec.
Registration is free and easy. All bidders must register and agree to all Terms of Sale to participate in the sale.
Some lots may require a deposit be placed prior to bidding. When required, the refundable deposit serves to confirm the financial ability and intent of the bidder to complete the transaction.
Bids may be placed at any time after the “start of sale.” If a bid is made for a lot five minutes before it is due to close, the closing time is extended by five minutes. Bidding is fast-paced particularly towards the close of an online sale. Watch your bid closely.
Once the sale is closed, bids are reviewed by LiquiTec. All lots which have met or exceeded their reserve price are sold, and the winning bidders are notified of their purchase.
An invoice is e-mailed to all winning bidders with buyer’s premium and tax added to the sale price, when applicable. In some sales, shipping and handling costs are also added. Generally, all purchases must be paid in full within one business day of being notified of the winning bid. LiquiTec accepts payment by wire transfer, MasterCard, Visa, cash and, in some cases, a company check accompanied by a bank letter of guarantee. Example of bank letter of guarantee >
Once full payment has been confirmed, the lot may be removed. Please read the removal terms carefully as they vary by sale, but usually buyers must make their own arrangements to remove the lot(s) within a specified timeframe at their own expense.
