In part 2 of this blog post we discussed how purchasing DIY tools, appliances, fixtures, furniture and furnishings at local auctions is a great way to purchase high quality merchandise at discounted prices. In this blog post we will discuss how purchasing items from local auctions also allows you to dictate the cost of these items.
Dictate Costs
The ability to dictate the price you pay for the items you purchase is another benefit of purchasing do-it-yourself items from a Scottsdale auction. While most do-it-yourself auction items are appraised to determine a minimum bid, bidders are ultimately the ones who decide the final price of the items at the auction.
Buyer Tip: Be careful when you bid on lots. Know how much you are bidding and whether you are bidding against your spouse, parent, sibling or friend. Although you can retract a bid while the bidding is open, you cannot retract it once the auctioneer has said “sold.” Auctioneers expect you to take full responsibility for your bids.

In part 1 of this blog post we discussed the fact that there are numerous benefits to purchasing DIY items at local auctions including the opportunity to purchase items at discount prices, purchase high quality, new and used do-it-yourself items, inspect items before purchase and dictate the cost of items purchased. In this blog post we will further examine how local auctions offer DIY items at discount prices.
Discount Prices
The opportunity to purchase high quality items at discounted prices is perhaps the most appealing feature of a local Auction and home remodelers, who are interested in saving money on home renovations, should take advantage of the quality do-it-yourself tools, appliances, fixtures, furniture and furnishings available at local auctions. Quality local auction houses commonly sell do-it-yourself items that are either brand new, end of line or ex-display items allowing you to purchase everything from bathroom fixtures and tiles to kitchen appliances for a fraction of retail price.

The next step in securing a government auction in Arizona contract is to call the procurement officer listed in the RFP and ask some basic questions about the last winning bid: what was the overall revenue from the contract, what did the winning company bid on the contract and are there any issues with this government auction contract that you should be aware of? Once you know this information, make a pro/con list and decide if you would like to bid on the contract — is the contract lucrative enough or within an area of desired expertise? Most importantly do not win a contract you can’t afford to win, it can put you out of business.
If you decide to complete the RFP remember who your audience is — a procurement officer who purchases copy machines, paper cups and computer services. I have yet to meet a procurement officer who has ever attended a government auction in Arizona, so don’t assume they know how a government auction works, write it out and explain the process. Provide complete information about your company – the more information the better, even if the RFP doesn’t ask for the information. Proposals should restate points in the RFP on a point-by-point basis.
When you do win the government auction in Arizona contract it is so important that you keep good records. Even if paperwork is not your high point, hire someone else to do the paperwork. The area of record keeping is what protects you in the event of a problem with your contract and the rule all government agencies live by is “the one with the most papers at the end of the day – wins”.
I highly recommend that you make at least one attempt to win a government auction contract. Conducting government contractions means added visibility for your company and lends to your firm’s credibility. You will certainly attract new bidders to your auctions along with creating a dependable stream of income from regularly scheduled government auctions.

Auction Systems is a unique auction house because they conduct three types of auctions on a regular basis. Auction Systems allows customers to take part in live auctions, online only auctions and simulcast auctions. Live auctions are where only bidders who are physically present are able to bid. Online only auctions allow customers to bid online and compete online against other registered bidders. Simulcast auctions are the most common and allow customers to either bid online or take part in a live auction.
Live auctions take place either on-site or at Auction Systems and are notated on the Auction Schedule with “Sorry No Online Bidding.” Online auctions take place over the Internet and are notated on the Auction Schedule with “Online Only.” Simulcast auctions allow bidders, who are onsite, to compete against bidders online who have either placed proxy votes or are bidding in real time. Simulcast auctions can also be heard online by listening to Auction System Radio Network.
For more information about live auctions, bidding online or simulcast auctions, contact Auction Systems.
