Timed Online Only Auction

VanDerBrink Auctions, LLC can also conduct an Online Only or Timed Auction for you. Sometimes a Seller does not want to have an on-site auction but still sell their collection, farm equipment, or other items. They have another new option with today’s advances in technology; it’s called an Online or Timed Auction. VanDerBrink Auctions, LLC creates a catalog with pictures and advertises and markets the items nationally and locally, but the only way Bidders can participate is online, using a national provider, and for only a specific time period. This works well for Seller’s that may have only a few items to a huge collection. At the end of the specified time, money is collected and the Bidders make arrangements to pick up their purchases. It’s a great way to market and sell, without setting up for an on-site auction.
