There are many benefits for dealers who participate in the auction process including…
- Critical Mass of Buyers and Sellers – Dedicated specialty boat auctions provide an opportunity for multiple sellers to offer their boats to a large crowd of potential buyers.
- Credible Pricing – Auctions create an environment where supply and demand channels are at work to establish a fair market price.
- Market Liquidity – Auctions allow boat consignors to convert boats into cash quickly.
- Affordable Participation – Auction fees are a small percentage of the boat-selling price and have gone down in the past 10 years.
- Technology Applications – Manheim has embraced technology to enhance the process for both buyers and sellers to reach new audiences and improve efficiencies for existing customers.
Customers can take advantage of on-site and online bidding using a variety of technologies such as Manheim Simulcast, which allows dealers to participate in live auctions online. OVE.com allows buyers to bid on and purchase units 24/7. With Manheim’s mobile unit, we bring the auction to customers and provide live pictures via a broadcast-quality, hand-held camera capturing different unit angles, giving buyers enhanced close-ups of the vehicles.
