How Auctions Can Help You Create More Space After the Holidays

The holidays are always a favorite time of year for many, but they can also cause quite a bit of stress by the time January rolls around. Not only do you have to worry about taking all those decorations down, you almost always end up with a lot more stuff lying around than you had previously.

You know how it goes. Between the presents, impulse holiday buys, and seasonal decor, your home is suddenly left with many things that you don’t know what to do with after all the boxes are put back up. Before you realize it, the garage is full, the spare room has become a closet of its own, and there’s no end in sight.

This leaves most people with a few options going forward: You can start throwing stuff away, identify items to donate or sell, or create more space on your property by getting rid of some of your larger items taking up valuable real estate in your garage, barn, shed or driveway.

Why not get some money out of your efforts while also freeing up some space in and around your home?

Find Space, Make Money

If you’re looking to sell any unwanted belongings, like heavy equipment, firearms or vehicles, you may be tempted to do so yourself, using DIY platforms like eBay, Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. While you can certainly go this route, we don’t advise it. (For more on why, check out our reasons here.)

Why not let an auction do all the work for you?

Perhaps you’ve got a second or third vehicle you rarely drive that’s been taking up space in your garage. Maybe you started a restoration project on one but never got around to finishing it. You could go through the long drawn out process of doing it yourself — or you could just take it to an auction, have it sold for you, and know when it will likely be sold, saving you all the trouble.

The same goes with any large equipment you may have on your property. Do you need to pare down your gun collection, or have unwanted gun safes, cabinets, and other firearm accessories taking up space? An auction can take care of that too.

Selling items like these in an auction is a proactive and effective way to immediately free up a lot more space on your property.

If you’ve been putting it off, now’s the time to consider how easy the process can be.

Using an Auction to Sell Your Guns, Autos and Large Equipment

The process is easier than you may think. You won’t have to worry about taking pictures, listing items, haggling with buyers, or shipping anything. Simply contact an auction house like Dakil and we’ll walk you through the rest of the process.

By the time you’re done, you’ll have a lot more free space for all the new stuff you got over the holidays, and some extra money in your pocket.
