ONLINE AUCTIONS

Wilsons Auctions hosts regular plant, machinery and ex-hire auctions every week across the UK and Ireland.

Due to innovations in technology, Wilsons Auctions’ number of Online Auctions have grown exponentially year on year. The bespoke online auction platforms are open for all to use and allows registered bidders to bid seamlessly from any location around the world, maximising exposure of each asset and in turn maximising returns. Timed Online Auctions give bidders a predetermined window to participate in an auction. These auctions are visible to everyone visiting the website, not just registered bidders or trade buyers, with all Lots and hammer totals visible throughout the duration of the auctions. LiveBid Auctions are a virtual way of participating in a live auction, showing a direct live video and audio stream of the auctioneer, offering registered bidders an exciting auction experience straight to their desktop or mobile device. LiveBid is regularly offered alongside physical and offsite auctions.

OFFSITE AUCTIONS

Offsite auctions are a highly efficient and adaptable solution for clients dealing with a substantial inventory of assets or large, immovable items, such as those found in expansive sites like quarries or industrial facilities. This approach allows auctions to occur at a location strategically chosen to meet the client's specific needs, eliminating the complexities and expenses associated with transporting assets to a central auction house. Beyond cost savings, offsite auctions champion environmental sustainability by reducing the carbon footprint tied to asset transportation. Wilsons Auctions offers a comprehensive service package that encompasses every aspect of the auction process, from managing viewings and handling registration to overseeing administrative tasks and organising item collection from the site.

Offsite Auctions can be delivered by any auction format. The most popular option used being timed online auction format.

This tailored, client-centric approach ensures that offsite auctions effectively maximise returns for clients in industries where large-scale and specialised equipment is the norm.
