Inventive Sellers Find Success Auctioning Jewelry Online
Sponsored by HiBid
Whether the goal is to liquidate a large estate, sell a jewelry collection, or auction off individual pieces of jewelry, inventive sellers are keenly aware of the benefits of using HiBid. Used by auctioneers and individual sellers alike, HiBid is an online auction platform that’s well-known for being easy to use and reaching an enormous pool of bidders worldwide.
On any given week, there are typically thousands of pieces of jewelry up for bidding on HiBid.com. Because there is such a high volume and wide range of jewelry to choose from, the Jewelry category is a top draw for bidders using the site to find the best values or to track down specific types of jewelry. This, in turn, makes HiBid.com a top draw for sellers, who understand that because auctions close at specific times, there is automatically a sense of urgency for buyers. For these reasons, among others, HiBid is a win-win for buyers and sellers.
If you’re a consignor wishing to sell necklaces, pendants, rings, bracelets, brooches, earrings, or any other type of jewelry, or even diamonds or precious gemstones, HiBid.com offers a Sell button. Simply complete some basic information about yourself and the items you wish to sell, and an auctioneer will contact you to get the items sold.
If you’re an auctioneer, HiBid provides a wealth of features and service to help you conduct successful online auctions. HiBid offers webcast live bidding, where online bidders and in-person bidders participate in the same auction; internet-only bidding; and internet absentee bidding, which allows pre-bidding prior to a live auction event. Click the Sell button on HiBid.com, indicate that you are an auctioneer, and the team at HiBid will help you get started. HiBid works hand-in-hand with Auction Flex 360, which is comprehensive auction management software that covers everything from uploading your catalog to clerking and invoicing.
