Online auction portal www.mrmachinery.com decision to change its bidding process has proved a big hit with both buyers and sellers.
Earlier this year, the used plant, heavy equipment and vehicle specialist moved to a reserved model of auctioneering, which gives sellers the opportunity to set a base price below which their item may not be sold. Buyers participating in Mr Machinery's fortnightly online auctions are now informed if their offer is below the reserve place, and if so, prompted to submit a higher bid.
"Moving to reserved auctions has proved extremely popular with both buyers and sellers alike," Mark Bacon, Managing Director for Mr Machinery revealed. "For sellers, it has given them much greater control over the entire process – they can set a minimum price, and if the value isn't met, it is entirely in their hands whether to accept a lower offer, negotiate with the bidder or reject the deal.
"Advantages are also there for buyers too. Reserved auctions reduce the possibility of disputes over final sales prices and with sellers given a much greater say in the auction process, more and more have been encouraged to make their used plant, machinery and heavy equipment available for auction, leading to a much wider range of items on offer for potential bidders."
