Auctions Online
Pioneered by IRS, the IRS "auction online" system is a marvel of engineering that
combines proven, old-world auctioning concepts with today's technology. The result
is a unified, highly competitive and intuitive environment for global auction buyers to
compete. This unique system allows buyers to participate in real-time without
leaving their office. The IRS online system works great for complete plants, and is
also an effective tool for quickly turning surplus assets into cash.
On Location & Web-Cast Auctions
IRS has several highly-skilled auctioneers all of which consider auctioning an art
form. IRS "on location" auctions are best known for their high-energy and enthusiastic
environment. Our auctioneer’s familiarity with industrial equipment is evident to our
buyers and attributes to the overall synergy on the auction floor. Many IRS on location
auctions are supported by a simultaneous web-cast. This allows bidders from around
the world to participate in real-time against the bidders on the premises.
Repossessions & Remarketing
IRS is a powerful ally for many financial institutions requiring equipment
repossession and remarketing. IRS has the know-how and industry alliances to
properly remove and transport industrial equipment. IRS also coordinates trucks
and offers warehousing. Over the years we have learned to effectively negotiate
difficult situations with landlords and tenants. Depending on the circumstance, IRS
can often sell the repossessed equipment before it needs to be removed.
Evaluations
Our industrial evaluators have decades of experience in examining and determining the
approximate value of industrial machinery, equipment and other plant assets—from an
entire plant all the way down to the smallest of items. IRS evaluators have been trained
to factor in current market conditions, asset location, plant environment and many other
important factors that determine value.
Auction Setup
IRS setup professionals take asset presentation and lot ordering very seriously.
Large quantities of photos, meticulously written specifications and operational
videos allow our buyers to make informed decisions. It has been our experience
that informed buyers bid more aggressively. We pride ourselves in making your
assets a first-class showcase.
Marketing & Advertising
Let IRS put our time-tested, international database - consisting of thousands of
diverse, repeat IRS buyers - to work for you. We’ll send hardcopy mailers and/or
interactive e-mailers to a large list of buyers seeking your specific types of
machinery. As your mail campaign and print media are launched, knowledgeable
representatives from IRS will be available to answer questions and assist
prospective buyers on the bidding process and use of IRS bidding software.
