Commercial auction services for business assets
RetailABC takes the enquiry for business asset auctions; the auctions themselves are conducted by EAMA Group (eama.group), the group's specialist auction operation. Online auctions suit stock lots, plant and machinery, equipment and vehicles where competitive bidding sets a fairer price than a single negotiated offer, and where a firm sale deadline matters.

Pricing and timescales
How it is priced

Timescales
Cataloguing usually drives the timetable. A defined sale window is agreed before marketing begins.
