Why an Auction?
| Factors | Geyer Auction Companies | Traditional Sale |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline | Accelerated: Fixed sale date where all assets are liquidated with the entire process completed within 30–90 days. | Stagnant: Individual listings or bid processes are slow, and lead to more ongoing incurred costs. |
| Logistics | Full Service: Geyer manages the entire process, including asset cataloging, marketing, previews, and transactions. | Administrative Burden: Staff must manage inquiries, coordinate viewings, and handle complex paperwork. |
| Marketability | Total Liquidation: We create a market for everything at our auctions, not just the high-value assets. | Selective Buyers: High-value assets will move quickly, leaving the burden of the remaining inventory. |
| Holding Cost | Minimized: Rapid liquidation stops the clock on expenses and asset value loss. | Ongoing: Continued maintenance, storage costs, insurance, and asset depreciation loss. |
| Return on Assets | Maximized: Competitive bidding drives prices up, while buyer-paid fees maximize the returns to the public budget. | Diminishing: Returns are eroded by administrative labor and the cost of disposing of unsold items. |
