WHAT DO THINK OF HAVING AN AUCTIONEER HERE IN CEBU
WHAT IS AUCTION
An auction is a process of buying and selling goods or services by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the highest bidder.
There are a number of auctioneers in Luzon area, I just wonder why there isn’t one here in Cebu? I see advantage to all parties with auction system. Even Japan does this a lot because they see it as fair price from buyer's point of view, and we call them
SURPLUS, like the smallest furnitures to the humongous excavator we see destroying our “hamis nga karsada para himo-an og bago nga hamis gihapon”.
Here is what I see advantages for both parties:
FOR SELLER or
CONSIGNOR:
they can help you advertise and sell your items with just a part of the winning bid for the auctioneer, ofcourse it will only be sold with your approval.
This also means that you don’t have to rent an office space or a stall to sell your stuff, which also means less “Tindera” to maintain, and no government documents/permit to apply for.
FOR BUYER or
BIDDER
you may buy items with the specific amount you want to buy. Who knows, you may be the only bidder so you could win the item with just an inch higher than the bottom price of the seller’s agreed price.
This also means that buy and sell business would be good for you. You buy stuff for a cheap price, and then sell them at reasonable price at your barangay.
So what do you think guys? Would Cebu want an auctioneer? Wouldnt it vanish kay wlay mamalit?
Would like to here your thoughts.
thanks
