Items are uploaded to the Global Auctioneers website and the iBidder platform where a large and expanding customer base can immediately place bids at the tip of their fingers.

We take the risk

As an auction house, all goods are sold as seen, therefore no warranty is provided and returns are not accepted. This ensures there are no repercussions to your business, and we can sell products in different conditions.

Results-based commission structure

We operate using a result driven commission structure whereby fees are only charged on items sold. Given our commercial success is based on the sale of goods to the highest bidder, we always provide a maximum return on your goods in a timely manner.

Taking on the burden

We take direct responsibility of the full sales process, including marketing, storage, lotting, cataloguing, customer services, payments, administration, shipping and reporting. We take responsibility for the risk, burden, and hassle to simplify the process for our vendors.
