Auctions can provide the easiest, fastest, and most convenient turnaround available for people to liquidate their property.

Did you know that more than half of the population has attended a live auction? In 2006, the value of all goods and services sold at live auction in the U.S. was approximately $257.2 billion. This figure is up 7.1% over 2005 and translates into a huge number of satisfied buyers and sellers of goods.

These figures come from a comprehensive research study commissioned by the National Auctioneers Association. The study as a whole shows that the auction industry is on the rise. More and more consumers are seeing the advantages of buying by the auction method. In addition, consumers find auctions fun because they're a rewarding activity for the whole family to enjoy. On average, consumers are willing to drive 1.3 hours to attend a live auction, with 75% bringing the family when they go.
Here are some of the others reasons why consumers love attending auctions:
- 83% think auctions are an exciting way to get good deals
- 51% think they offer a great value on items
- 65% think auctions offer exciting items they wouldn't otherwise purchase
- 53% like the excitement of getting a good price

So what's so special about auctions? And what's the advantage of selling and buying at auction? Well, there are plenty of advantages.

- Speed of the Process. There's no doubt that an auction is the fastest sales process around. It's quick and efficient and that's what makes it attractive. Auctioneers sell a multitude of items in a short time. Your property is exposed to a large number of prospects all at the same time. Registered buyers come prepared to buy, often creating their own aura of competition and excitement. The quick sale that an auction brings can reduce the heavy financial and emotional carrying costs, including taxes, maintenance, and insurance. The seller can finally have cash available to capitalize on their next opportunity or loosen their debt load.

- You Set Your Own Price and Establish a Value. You are in control at an auction. You decide when to bid and how much to bid - how high or low you want to go.

- Certainty of Knowing What You're Getting. Auctioneers deal with a wide range of merchandise. They are educated professionals who know value and price. Many have special certifications in personal property or estate appraisals.

- Opportunity for a Bargain. With the wide array of items up for bid, there's always an opportunity to get a good deal. Sometimes it's a matter of just wearing down those other bidders.

- Fun and Excitement. There's no doubt that an auction is entertainment at its finest. Crowds of people competing for unique property, combined with that lively and rhythmic auction chant make for some great entertainment and fun. It's an event the whole family can enjoy.

- Honesty of the Transaction. Auctions are very organized and the rules are straightforward. Auctioneers who are members of the National Auctioneers Association, as I am, are bound by a code of ethics that protects consumers against unfair auction practices.
