ENG - What rum auctions are and how they work

<< Back to articles

Do you ever wonder what it would be like selling to people from all over the world? Online auctions are not only the answer, but also a huge opportunity to sell and to realize high profits being comfortably sat to your house.

Selling on Rumtrades is easy and immediate and in case of doubt, our team of specialists will always be pleased to guide you step by step. Our team is made up of highly specialized people with years of experience in the rum industry, who thanks to an international contacts network, can help you achieve the best results.

 

How online rum auctions work

Auction results have always been the benchmark for market values, and that of rum is no exception. However, the last few years have seen the explosion of a new phenomenon, destined to change forever this sector: the online auction houses.

Unlike traditional auction houses, online auction houses do not require effective presence and offers can be made at any time and in any place from which you have access to the internet.

The possibility to propose lots all over the world and the simplicity in bidding online, attracted an ever greater audience, exponentially increasing revenues for sellers.

 

How to start selling

Selling on Rumtrades is easy. Register for free, click on the 'Sell' button on the top bar and enter the bottles you wish to sell. Shortly afterwards you will receive an email confirming your lots registration and the sell side mandate, that you’ll need to print and send together with the bottles.

For sending the lots, we recommend you to choose a courier that you trust.

For larger collections or special items, Rumtrades offers a free pick-up service upon request.

 

Minimum selling price

If you are wondering how to reach a minimum selling price, the answer is simple: place a reserve price. The reserve price is the amount below which the seller is not willing to sell his lot.

During the bottle registration, you will have the opportunity to decide whether to place one, guaranteeing that your lot will not be sold below the amount you wish.

If at the end of the auction the lot does not reach the reserve price, you can choose whether to simply enter it in the next auction or get it back.

 

Receive payments

Once the auction is finished, buyers must pay for their order within 3 days: the seller will receive the payment approximately 2 weeks from the shipment of the order, minus the 5% auction fee.
