Online Auctions


Online auction sites, where a lot is sold to the highest bidder, are big business, making it possible to purchase almost anything you can think of. No wonder then that specialist online auction sites are rapidly gaining in popularity. The presence of the internet now means that there is a truly global marketplace, with no geographical restrictions and no lost business hours travelling to and from the auction. Online auctions make the whole process simple and easily accessible, leaving you free to get on with your work until your item is due to end.

Specialist online auction sites are ideal, particularly for business customers wishing to purchase items relevant to their trade, or for sales of less than 200 lots. The process is quick and simple, the first step being to register on the site or at the auction selling venue itself, if close by. You can inspect the goods beforehand, but remember that, depending on your proximity, you could even buy goods seated right in front of the auctioneer’s rostrum and partake in the sale. Bear in mind however, that once you start bidding, then you are entering a legal binding contract, and if you have placed the highest bid for a lot at the time the hammer falls, you are contracted to complete payment and become the owner of the product so remember to stick to your budget. Of course, every auction is different, attended by buyers with different styles and levels of knowledge, varying budgets and requirements.

For sellers, both online and traditional auctions are a great way to achieve a return on surplus items as auction fees tend to be fixed, miminal, time-efficient and can be an instant way to manage the cash flow of a business liquidating stock. Every business has surplus or overlooked assets which have probably not yet been fully utilised. This means that at anytime, should cash flow become a real issue, then selling items at auction will help to release some much needed funds. It is indeed the most simple way to sell off surplus assets including plant and machinery and some auctioneers will design and implement a customised auction or disposal programme which focuses on generating cash quickly.

An auction holds several advantages for the buyer too; the equipment is readily available, there are no lead times, the item has had a proven ability to perform the task required, it takes the guesswork out of trialling a new machine and of course, you could potentially make considerable savings by not buying brand new.

When it comes to food auctions, including food processing and bakery stock sales, these are always big news, as they are becoming rarer within the industry. Despite this, demand remains high, with the shared common knowledge that this is the most affordable way to obtain used food processing machinery. Pro Auctions is one of the leading auctioneers which specialises in this sector and is one of only a handful to continue to hosting traditional auctions in the food industry.

Bakery equipment auction cooking up a storm


Leading plant and machinery auctioneers within the food industry, Pro Auction, is to continue with its series of online auctions for commercial bakery equipment, with another announced for July.

The closure of bakery machinery dealer, DL Machinery, and a local bakery has enabled the online auction to take place on Wednesday 14 July 2010.

The competitive nature of the industry and challenging economic environment has led to an impressive response for the planetary and spiral mixers, dividers and moulders, ovens, pizza equipment, dicers and mincers, prover cabinets, metal detection and ancilliary bakery items offered.

Comprising over 100 lots, commercial bakers and food retailers will be keen to pick up a bargain, with Tom Chandley and other deck oven products being one of the most popular.

Mark Flynn, managing director of Pro Auction, says: “We have a vast range of commercial baking equipment available, including a Tom Chandley Compacta five deck 10 tray oven and a Chandley four deck 32 tray electric low crown oven, which are likely to fly. Although we have a few specialist bakery online auctions lined up, opportunities to purchase first class equipment such as this, at a significantly reduced price, will be limited”.

Viewings are strictly by prior arrangement with the auctioneers, with assets located at Bath, Nottingham and London storage facilities. All bids to be placed by 2pm GMT on Wednesday 14 July. The auction will be held online at www.bidspotter.co.uk.

Sale of meat processing equipment sees true Euro vision


Leading plant and machinery auctioneers within the food industry, Pro Auction, is to hold a timed online auction of meat, poultry and fish processing equipment in Zamosc, Poland on 30 June 2010. The sale is to take place following the decision by one of Poland’s largest food manufacturers, Servo, to close two of its plants.

One of the country’s fastest growing industries, meat processing has continued to thrive, even during the worldwide recession and throughout the last ten years, Polish consumption of red meat, poultry and fish has increased significantly. It is for this reason that Pro Auction expects to see a great deal of demand for many of the 200+ lots featured.

Of particular interest so far has been the Laska & Seydlemann bowl cutting range of equipment, which includes a 200 litre, 300 and 500 litre cutters

In addition, as anticipated, there have been many enquiries about the Stork range of products for sale, which include a steam autoclave 600 litre capacity removable basket, Titan meat ball former, Poultry Systems VOC-twin, MVT90 poultry water spin chiller and D series picker type broiler defeathering system.

Mark Flynn, managing director of Pro Auction, is unsurprised by the level of demand. He says: “With the meat, poultry and fish processing industries in central Europe continuing to outperform many other sectors, dozens of manufacturers not only throughout that region but across Europe are grasping the opportunity to start up a truly profitable business. I forecast that we will continue to see a number of smaller brands, in addition to the big names including Zamosc, making an impact over the next five years and specialist, meat processing equipment auctions such as these are vital in supplying both new and established meat processing plants not only with vital equipment, but equipment which will help them to maximise their efficiency and output”.

Viewings are to take place on Tuesday 29 June, by prior arrangement with the auctioneers, with all bids to be placed by 12pm GMT on Wednesday 30 June. The auction will be held online at www.bidspotter.com.
