Auction companies often provide a fiscally attractive alternative to other methods available to acquire the heavy equipment a business may need to conduct operations. Some companies offer the traditional auction experience and others, the convenience provided via the worldwide web. From marketing and listing equipment to selling and collecting payment, sellers may choose a full-service experience.
The Alex Lyon & Son Auctioneers company has the reputation of being the fastest paying auction company in the U.S. Headquartered in Syracuse, New York, company offices are also located throughout the country. The firm claims the largest cross section of buyers anywhere and offers a mailing list of 25,000 customers worldwide.
The auction day typically starts for Lyon at the crack of dawn when yard personnel make sure all equipment is running properly. Auctioneers and ring men are there, assisting potential buyers with queries they may have. Clerks and cashiers register all potential buyers and confirm that all customers are clear on the terms and conditions of a sale. Concession staff assures that no one goes hungry and security folks keep a watchful eye on the whole scene. Prior to the start of sale, all attendees have access to a catalog and once the sale commences, yard and mechanic staff make sure that all equipment and shop tools are properly loaded out.
The auction house began with Alex Lyon in 1950 and since then, many factors contributed to the growth of the company – for instance hard work, honesty, client trust, keeping commitments and most importantly, being liked by their clients.
Purple Wave, which claims to be the largest no-reserve internet auction firm in the country, is transforming the way sellers reach buyers to turn assets into cash. The company specializes in liquidating equipment and vehicles through no-reserve public internet auctions – providing the easiest and most straightforward way to buy and sell used equipment quickly and efficiently.
“The Purple Wave approach to auction maintains the traditional auction experience for buyers and sellers, but affords the convenience that comes with the internet. From marketing and listing your assets to selling and collecting payment, sellers benefit from a full-service experience. Also, we don’t require equipment be moved from the seller’s location – which saves the seller time and money,” explained Amy Shaneyfelt, marketing manager.
The company’s team, which consists of over 80 professionals, has widely expanded its sales volume and reputation by focusing on providing trustworthy auctions, building an extensive bidding community and providing technology and systems that make buying and selling easy. The company’s home office is in Kansas, but Purple Wave inventory sells all over the U.S.
Whether choosing a traditional auction service or an online avenue, companies have a variety of reputable auctioneers available to meet their needs when finding or moving heavy equipment.
