Selling at auctions

[rebel]

After talking to some other people, waiting for Osman to contact me back, and talking to Michner Allen I’ll be using Michner. Thanks for all the advice.

I've bought and sold with Michner. They have treated me well.

Yes let us know how it goes.
And post it when it's listed, if I am there I will bid it up.

I am very curious to see how things go. Won’t be until the 14th. Looking forward to having the extra space in my garage too!!

I used RB last year to sell my rzr as there was too many tire kickers and low ballers so I got fed up. Won’t sell on kijiji again for quads people pay more at auctions for them thinking they get some miracle deal I got more than asking on kijiji.

So just as a follow up as a bunch of people have asked. Here are my findings. The cheque took longer then it should have IMO as I told them I would pick it up when it was ready but she mailed it. She even asked which I prefer. Having to drop the machines off and have a sale was nice. Same with not having to deal with idiots on kijiji. Being able to watch the auction online was nice. They run a video on their truck so you can see and hear everything. As for what the machines sold for and what they charged me I doubt Ill ever sell anything at the auction again. Yes I understand it is a risk but I lost out big time. Especially on the sled. It is what it is and I have no regrets as it is a done deal and I am reclaiming the garage space but it is a heads up for anyone looking to take stuff to the auction. Im not sure if I would have done better going to Osman as every auction is different.

I had to basically give away a good sled In April as a private sale too! A buddy did the same in June. no real action until the prices where rock bottom.

Yea always a gamble. Not surprised on the sled, it is summer and anyone buying right now wants a screaming deal. The others should fetch market price even at osmans/micheners, either one wouldn't make much difference. I guess it depends if there was anything unique you expected to get more for that doesn't pan out?

I just picked up a little run around SUV at osmans last weekend gst buyers fee in paid about $4600, kijiji asking prices around $6000-6500, which is what items should fetch at the auction for the increased risk. Having said that, seller ends up with like $3800 which quite a bit less.
