Online auctions with local pick-up are becoming more and more popular as a way to save money.
PHOENIX, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For decades, a local auction with a live auctioneer was the place bargain hunters went on a Saturday looking for good deals. As the internet grew more popular, national online auctions became common practice. Around the clock bidding, a bigger selection of items, and the ability to sell helped online auctions become the dominant way to auction something. Sadly, the problem with online auctions is the buyer usually doesn't get to see the items before bidding and shipping can be expensive for large items.
To solve this problem, many people are now turning to local online auctions as a better solution. A local online auction gives customers the convenience of online bidding with the benefits of an in person preview and pick-up. One company is on a mission to bring online auctions to local communities.
LocalAuctions.com is a new online auction platform that is helping people find online auctions that offer local pickup. It combines sales from 15 different websites into one easy to use platform. This type of local online auction allows sellers to auction items they no longer need to local buyers that can still use them. And because the buyer and seller are both local, the entire process can be done much faster. LocalAuctions.com is quickly becoming more popular with buyers on the hunt for local estate, business and auto auctions as well as sellers trying to declutter their home or business.
Forrest DeCuir, a general manager at LocalAuctions.com, started as a seller and is now helping build the company's local presence. "LocalAuctions.com has created a marketplace with the convenience of online bidding and the benefits of in person preview, so people can see most items before they bid," says Forrest. "Many items on LocalAuctions.com sell for less than 50% of retail and most come with a two day guarantee. Also having the ability to pick up instead of ship saves buyers even more money."
It's free to register and bid on LocalAuctions.com and all winning bidders must pay for and pick-up their items by the deadlines. Most transactions have sales tax and a small buyer's fee. Once registered on LocalAuctions.com, users can bid on a wide variety of items including vehicles, estate items, or even store returned merchandise.
