Things are warm at the Kansas Auctioneers Convention

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

A great turnout at the KS Auctioneers association convention at the Holiday Inn in Salina Kansas.

Comparing temperatures across the country was an interesting conversation with Kris Kennedy of AuctionFlex.com . Salina was 50 degrees colder than his home in Florida and Salina was 50 degrees warmer than the Global Auction Guide Media Group headquarters in Manitoba.

A total of over 100 degrees difference.

Here is NAA President Tommy Williams giving a Real Estate Seminar

We now use the many innovations and statistics provided to us as a selling tool for future clients and as a confirmation of our commitment to service for our current clients. We appreciate the service Global Auction Guide offers us and look forward to a continued relationship in the years to come. Geri Paul - Steffes Auctioneers Fargo, North Dakota

Rosebud Ranch Inc. - Jerry & Verna Barth sold by Kramer Auction Sales Ltd. on April 4, 2007 in Unity, Saskatchewan

The internet is a proven tool for auctions. Through the use of the internet buyers today can source equipment much more efficient than they could before. Buyers today have easy access to pictures, prices, etc. for equipment anywhere in the world. And it’s convenient - They can view it when they want, where they want. We use the internet heavily in our auction marketing program. According to our recent statistics the internet is the number one source where buyers look for equipment at our auctions. Our kramerauction.com site has seen a sharp increase in users for the past seven years. We have promoted our auctions on farmauctionguide for a number of years and find it is one of the best sites for buyers to source auction items. The number of viewers looking at our auctions on this site has increased every year. We have consistently had numerous buyers take part in our auctions that have seen them on farmauctionguide.

Retirement John Deere Farm Machinery Auction for Gordon & Karen Johanessen sold by Cone Auctions on January 13, 2007 in Alta, Iowa

Since we have started using Global Auction Guide the interest in our sales has skyrocketed. Instead of just local newspaper coverage we now have exposure to the world !!! We list our Global site in all of our local ads for our local customers so they can look at sale bills and photos from their homes. The power of advertising auctions on the internet only generates more buyers. Advertising and listing auctions on the net not only helps us the auctioneers but more importantly our customers (the sellers). More exposure for their items means more money in their pockets. We have no other website as we have found that Global Auction Guide has fulfilled all our needs !!!! Thanks to Dwayne and everyone that helped put this together as it has been a valuable asset to our Auction business !!
Sincerely Dan Wendel Cone Auctions - Alta, Iowa
