What is an auction?

An auction is an event where goods and property are sold to the highest bidder.  An item is introduced to the crowd and members of the public bid on it, slowly raising the price until everyone bows out, leaving a winner of the auction who pays the price he or she bid. The auction is managed by an auctioneer, someone who keeps an eye on the bidding and determines the ultimate winner.  In some cases, the seller may set a minimum bid, ensuring that the item will not sell below a certain price.  The reason auctions have been successful for thousands of years is because they work. 

An auction is the best way to quickly convert property, possessions and inventory to cash. 
The customer decides what they want to sell
and when they want to sell it.  

At AMES AUCTIONEERING we can make
your auction a true success.
