What is Live Online?

Why is H&H, which has a longer continual trading history than any UK rival, offering Live Auctions Online?

More and more expensive goods are being sold online from houses through to yachts. Indeed, online transactions now make up over 20% of the UK’s retail spending.

Online bidders accounted for 35% of the cars and motorcycles sold through H&H’s physical auctions last year.

Advances in technology mean that attending a physical auction and having to compete with others to view a car is not always the best way of ascertaining its condition.

Live Online Ticks All the Boxes!

As 'hands-on' or as 'hands-off' as you want to be...

• We can take all the photos / videos OR we can accept vendor supplied entry requirements
• H&H will prepare the vehicle description
• Viewings can be conducted at your location or a storage facility. However, so far less than 5% of buyers have availed themselves
  of this facility

More and better images than ever before...

• A digital listing can showcase more images than a printed catalogue
• We aim to have a minimum of 40 images on our website for all Live Auction Online entries
• A video of the vehicle running if possible

No Time Wasters, No Fraudsters...

• Any questions are filtered through us as are any requests to view cars in advance of the auction
• No defaulted buyers from any H&H Live Auction Online sales and all cars collected

Transport is no longer an issue...

• No transport costs to auction venues, you remain in control of the vehicle

The benefits of a live auctioneer...

• A live auction provides a far more competitive bidding environment than a timed one. There are no concerns as to sniping software
  because our auctioneer is in control
• The live auction format allows telephone bidders to participate broadening the pool of potential buyers
• A live auction has more drama, excitement and sense of occasion than a timed one ever will
