Auction-Quest allows sellers to move large quantities of product to end-user customers through a variety of online auction sites such as E-Bay, Ubid, Yahoo, AOL and others. Online auctions can be a great avenue to sell overstock technology products at premium prices- but the process requires an allocation of resources that most companies can't afford and an expertise in dealing with end user consumers that can be complicated and time consuming.

With this service, all you do is provide the product. We do all the work to sell and move the inventory and return the proceeds to you less our pre-established commission.

How does it work? Under the Auction-Quest program, we take large quantities of items and break them down into individual units or small lots. We post the items on appropriate auction sites depending upon the type of product and market conditions. We monitor the activities of dozens of online auctions in the USA and around the world. We have contracted warehouse space in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, which allows us to get the highest possible rate of return by selling product in areas where there is less competition.

With Auction-Quest, CNE Direct will either take inventory on consignment or purchase the product at a percent of its estimated resale value. CNE and the seller will agree on a fixed sales period (usually 60 days) and a fixed resale commission (10%-40% depending upon the product).

At the end of the selling period, CNE will provide the seller with a comprehensive report of all sales results and payment for the actual resale value less the CNE commission.

What are the benefits of Auction-Quest?
  • Seller achieves maximum value for product
  • Low risk and virtually no allocation of internal resources
  • We take care of all the logistics including reporting and shipping
