by Anonymous

Hassle Free Auctions main market is the general public, but they have also helped companies liquidate excess inventory or closeouts. But now have found a way to help charities turn donations into cash. The reasons charities come to them for help is 1) Reduced risk to the seller… no learning curve to master 2) Saves time…they do most of the work 3) Experience…in listings, writing descriptions, best auction sites to use, shipping and more 4) Save money…no digital camera, scanners, computers or packaging supplies needed 5) Cash…they turn unwanted items into money for the charity 6) Fundraisers…a new easy way to raise money.

Hassle Free Auctions will turn existing donated items that are laying around and taking up space and auction them online and return the proceeds to the charity. They will also help organize a fundraiser for the charity too. A fundraiser usually consists of the charity notifying people to donate unwanted goods and items to them instead of cash, Hassle Free Auctions will then auction off these items online. Many times an individual has something of value to give instead of cash, so this process helps everyone. The donation may be tax deductible if the organization qualifies.

The sales process is simple. All items are temporarily in the control of Hassle Free Auctions; this insures integrity of the sale and timely shipping and accurate descriptions. Larger items that are not easily shipped are accepted on a case-by-case basis only. Once the sale is complete, Hassle Free Auctions collects and disperses the proceeds to the charity. A commission based upon the selling price is charged against the proceeds and varies from 5-30% and the buyer pays shipping charges.     Depending on the item and its value, it may be picked up in the metro Detroit area, otherwise the item needs to be shipped or dropped off.

Hassle Free Auctions has consulted with a major Automotive Manufacturer, Police Departments, businesses and individuals on online auction sales strategies and technologies. The founder, Scott Baumgart, says, "Online auctions are like a modern day garage sale that the whole world is invited to." Hassle Free Auctions has recently sold over a quarter million dollars in merchandise from Corvettes to wireless phones and collectables. They also adhere to and participate in all auction "fair trade" policies, as well as have been ID checked and can receive all major credit cards through an online service to insure quick, fair and honest transactions. Additionally, Scott states, "Online auction prices are usually higher than pawn shops and anything you can think of usually can and will sell, we have seen items from a dollar to millions of dollars sell on an online auction." Additionally, "This is a great way for people to give in this tough economic time!"
