Epic Auctions will become part of Troostwijk Auctions. This means that sellers and bidders currently using the Epic auction platform will transfer to Troostwijk Auctions' platform. This will give them access to a large, international reach and an extensive range of machines and goods. At the same time, existing customer relationships remain intact, preserving the local character. Moreover, sellers can now auction on a weekly basis, instead of monthly. The last auction running on the Epic auction platform will close on March 27.
Almost a year after the acquisition of Epic Auctions by the TBAuctions group, the auction platform now becomes part of Troostwijk Auctions, which also belongs to the group. A logical next step with which Troostwijk Auctions further strengthens its position particularly in agriculture, transport, earthmoving and construction. "The activities of Epic Auctions fit seamlessly with the specializations that have traditionally been part of Troostwijk," says Arno Hendrikse, Managing Director Troostwijk Auctions Nederland. "By transferring sellers and bidders from Epic Auctions to our platform, we add value for all entrepreneurs who want to auction or buy used goods and machinery. As a rule of thumb, more bidders lead to a better auction result. This has a pull effect on sellers, broadening the supply and allowing more bidders to find what they are looking for."
Current Auctions
The transition from Epic Auctions to Troostwijk Auctions does not affect existing auctions already scheduled through the Epic Auctions platform. New auctions can be registered on the Troostwijk Auctions platform as of mid-March and assets can be auctioned as of April 4. For sellers currently active on the Epic Auctions platform, this means that they can now auction on a weekly basis, instead of monthly.
