Auction Process

The professional staff at DCI Auctions has decades of experience guiding clients through the auction process, handling every detail along the way.

PREPARATION:

1. The items and facility are prepared, cleaned and organized in order to maximum return
2. All items are photographed, lot tagged, and dictated for the brochure and for display on our Web site. DCI Auctions uses computerized cataloging, invoicing and auction reconciliation to ensure a fast, accurate and organized auction.
3. An advertising campaign tailored to your needs is created. Auction brochures are printed, mailing lists are generated, media ads are placed, and a targeted email notification is sent to our large database of potential buyers
