Selling Guide

How to sell

Getting Started

Simply contact us to arrange a meeting. We will visit your premises to discuss how we can help and the next steps.

Then what?

Preparation of assets for sale

If required, we can arrange for assets to be valeted prior to our visit to consign.

Unlike traditional auctions, with TAW the sellers' equipment remains at the sellers' location until the auction is completed and the equipment is sold.

Inspection

The majority of equipment sold through TAW has been inspected and the report is posted on our website. Each report includes a detailed description and multiple high resolution photographs of the equipment.

Pre-auction marketing

Once we have consigned the assets in detail, we begin marketing to our global buyer base using both online and traditional marketing techniques.

In addition to our website we also reach out to prospective buyers in the following ways - pay per click (PPC) - our team of PPC experts will market online using the most online adwords marketing.

• Search engine optimisation (SE0)

  Our specialist SEO team will ensure that we appear high up in the natural listings for all the relevant internet search enquiries

• Tele-Sales

  We actively call relevant buyers to notify them of vehicles which could be of interest.

• Advertising

  TAW limited advertises in a range of popular UK and international print and online trade publications and industry websites including Truck Trader, Resale Weekly, Auction News, Ibidder, Plant World, Autoline, Mascus, Truck Locator etc

• Automatic Notification Service

  Registered buyers are able to build a 'wanted list' in their TAW account. As soon as an asset is listed that fits within the parameters of the bidders wanted list, they are automatically notified by email of lot and auction details.

Auction Day

• TAW main contact will report to seller as a each lot ends or in line with pre-agreed schedule. A full report will be issued at the end of the sale day. This will include pre-agreed report but at a minimum - Sold items, Highest bids and Highest post-sale offers.

Once seller confirms receipt of cleared funds, the vehicle will be released to the buyer.
