New online auction company, MaxSold.com, helps Canadians get top dollar, fast, for household items
"Women feel especially vulnerable when faced with the task of selling furniture due to downsizing or a move"
TORONTO, Aug. 7, 2012 /CNW/ - It's considered one of the most stressful life events and if you talk to someone who is in the midst of relocating, downsizing and selling household items, you'll know why.
There are hundreds of items to pack and move or sell, and it's a daunting task. But according to Sushee Perumal, CEO, MaxSold.com, it's women who can feel especially vulnerable at this time. That's because they want - and need - to receive top dollar fast when selling household items, but are concerned with having to meet strangers or negotiate values as part of the process.
"Look, at some point in our life, we will all have to sell a bulk of goods we no longer want and need. It may be our own move, it could also be for our parents. It could be as a result of death or divorce. This can be very time consuming and stressful, and we have heard horror stories. But thanks to MaxSold.com, the process is quick and easy and utilizing our fully managed auction service to sell goods is much safer for anyone concerned about dealing with strangers," adds Mr. Perumal.
"I had strict time constraints and also had health problems and they (MaxSold) were a life saver," explained Wanda Ruby, a GTA resident who sold all her household items recently through MaxSold.
Newly launched this year by second generation auctioneers, here's how the MaxSold service works:
- Homeowner contacts MaxSold.com, advising of need to sell select contents or all household items
- Unlike Kijiji, Craigslist and eBay - the company catalogues, photographs and posts all objects online for auction and conducts intense marketing to get top bids for items, including: online ads; social media marketing; newspaper ads; and, lawn signs
- The company deals with all potential buyers
- The company collects all payments from buyers and arranges all pick-ups of items over a two to three hour window
The entire process usually lasts two weeks.
The company charges a percentage of what the goods receive or a minimum of $1,000.
MaxSold has partnered with, and is endorsed by, The Accredited Senior Agent (ASA) Group, Canada's largest senior's real estate group.
