How to Bid
On-Site Bidding Process

Registering as a Bidder

When you arrive at an auction site, you must register as a bidder. At registration, we'll ask you to inform us as to how you plan to pay for your items. Please keep in mind that once you are a successful bidder, payment will be due in full by method of cash, certified or bank check, credit card immediately after the conclusion of the auction. Personal or company checks are only accepted with a letter from your bank guaranteeing your check.

How To Bid

Bidding at an auction is simple. The auctioneer will announce and describe each item before he asks for bids. During the entire bidding process, the auctioneer will speak loudly and clearly. Bids may be taken from bidders on-site, via the Internet, or by absentee-bid.

On-Site - You'll make bids by using the bid card which you obtain when you register. When you want to bid on an item, you may raise your card so the auctioneer will see it. Keep in mind that if you are the successful bidder, a representative of LIQUID ASSET PARTNERS LLC will approach you to make a deposit. You must tender the deposit in acceptable form at that time.

Quantity - Please note that when there is a quantity for a certain lot, and you are bidding on that lot, it is quantity X price. So if there is qty of 5 for Lot 100 and it sells for $100, your bill will reflect $500.

Inspecting the Merchandise

Before the bidding process starts you'll have an opportunity to inspect each lot. Our staff will be available if you have any questions. All items sold at an auction are sold "as is" and "with all faults" so it's your responsibility to know what you are buying. Some auctions will have digital pictures available for each lot. This

Final Payments

You may make final payments only in cash, credit card, by cashier's check, or with a personal or company check accompanied by a bank letter of guarantee. A letter of guarantee ensures us that your bank will guarantee your personal or company check up to specified amount. This is the most convenient way to make deposits and final payments.

Sales tax for the state in which the auction is held will be applied unless the items or purchaser are exempt. The burden of proof for exemptions is on the buyer. All sales taxes will be collected unless the buyer fills out a tax exemption form.

Picking Up Your Purchase

When you've finished bidding, return to the registration office to complete your payment. You must make payment in full to receive a bill of sale. You may pick-up your items only after the auction has been completed and when accompanied by your paid bill of sale. Remember all items must be removed immediately after the end of the auction.

Should you have any more questions please call our office or consult with our staff at the sale site. We want to make your auction experience both enjoyable and financially rewarding. We appreciate your patronage and attendance and wish you good luck.

Definitions of Liquidation Terms

Liquidation - Is to pay off (a debt, a claim, or an obligation); settle.

b. To settle the affairs of (a business firm, for example) by determining the liabilities and applying the assets to their discharge.

c. To convert (assets) into cash.

d. To settle a debt, a claim, or an obligation.

e. To settle the affairs of a business or an estate by disposing of its assets and liabilities.

Bankruptcy - Law a debtor that, upon voluntary petition or one invoked by the debtor's creditors, is judged legally insolvent. The debtor's remaining property is then administered for the creditors or is distributed among them.

Assets - Accounting the entries on a balance sheet showing all properties, both tangible and intangible, and claims against others that may be applied to cover the liabilities of a person or business. Assets can include cash, stock, inventories, property rights, and goodwill.

b. The entire property owned by a person, especially a bankrupt, which can be used to settle debts.

Liquid Assets - assets in the form of cash (or easily convertible into cash)

Auctions- Is a public sale in which property or items of merchandise are sold to the highest bidder.

Auction House - Is a firm that conducts auctions.

Equity - Is the difference in value between a person's debts and the value of the property on which they are secured.

Wholesale - Of, relating to, or engaged in the sale of goods in large quantities for resale: a wholesale produce market; wholesale goods; wholesale prices.

b. Made or accomplished extensively and indiscriminately; blanket: wholesale destruction, or in large bulk or quantity.

Intellectual Property - is the product of the intellect that has commercial value, including copyrighted property such as literary or artistic works, and ideational property, such as patents, appellations of origin, business methods, and industrial processes.

Appraisal - an unbiased and independent opinion of value.

Approaches to Value - the three recognized approaches used in appraisal analysis.

They are as follows:

Cost Approach - Calculation of value beginning with a determination of the replacement cost of a new asset of the same or similar utility, followed by deductions for all forms of depreciation to the subject asset including; physical (age, condition), technological obsolescence and economic obsolescence

Income Approach - capitalization of current net income or projected net cash flow and discounts those at a calculated rate to estimate current value. This is the least employed approach to value in single asset appraisals of equipment

Sales Comparison or Market Approach - involves the collection of market sales data pertaining to the subject assets being appraised in order to determine the desirability of the assets through recent sales or offerings of similar assets currently on the market in order to derive the most probable selling price for the assets being appraised.   In high tech technology, values change rapidly and little market data may exist for certain assets.

Concepts of Value - appraisal assignments often require more than one value. The appraiser, before beginning the process will investigate the assignment thoroughly in order to arrive at the concept that best suits the situation and purpose of the appraisal assignment. Some of the most common values are as follows:

Fair Market Value - the estimated amount, expressed in terms of money, which may reasonably be expected for a property in an exchange between willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both fully aware of all relevant facts, as of a specific date.

Forced Liquidation Value - the estimated gross amount, expressed in terms of money, that could typically be realized from a properly advertised and conducted public auction, with the seller being compelled to sell with a sense of immediacy on an as-is, where-is basis, as of a specific date.

Residual Value - the projected value expected by a lesser at the termination of a "fair market value" lease. This value usually falls somewhere between the fair market value and its orderly liquidation value and is based upon the lessor's calculated expectations of the willingness of the lessee to buy the equipment at its fair market value. IN the event the lessee elects to return the equipment, the lesser is likely to dispose of the equipment at its orderly liquidation value.

Orderly Liquidation Value - the estimated gross amount, expressed in terms of money, which could typically be realized from a liquidation sale, given a reasonable period of time to find a purchaser(s) with the seller being compelled to sell on an as-is/where-is basis, as of a specific date.

Salvage Value - is the estimated amount, expressed in terms of money that may be expected for the whole property or a component of the whole property that is retired from service for possible use elsewhere, as of a specific date.

Scrap Value - is the estimated amount, expressed in terms of money that could be realized for the property if it were sold for its material content, not for a productive use, as of a specific date.

Insurance Cost New  - is the replacement or reproduction cost new as defined in the insurance policy less the cost new of the items specifically excluded in the policy, as of a specific date.

Insurable Value Depreciated - is the insurance replacement or reproduction cost new less accrued depreciation considered for insurance purposes, as defined in the insurance policy or other agreements, as of a specific date.
