6/17/2008 - Multi Property Real Estate Available for Live Online Bidding
 
Omaha, NE — June 17, 2008 — Proxibid, a premier provider of live auction webcasting services, today announced that it will provide live online bidding for an upcoming auction of real estate, safety storage buildings, vehicles, antiques, collectibles and more.  The live auction, hosted by The Auction Team, will take place Saturday, June 21 at 10:00 p.m. MDT.  Pre-bidding and absentee bidding for this auction are already available on Proxibid.

This is a large auction with a wide range of high-value items.  Items of interest include three safety storage buildings from the Department of Energy.  These buildings were used to store chemicals safely and have been certified “clean” making them ready to be set, hooked up and used immediately.  Each unit is equipped with fire suppression systems, electrical hookups and gas heating systems.

“Here is an opportunity to add valuable space – whether for storage or other uses.  These units are extremely sturdy and will last a long, long time,” says Doug Carpenter, owner of The Auction Team.  “When bought new in 1992, these units cost between $32,000 and $43,000.  Don’t miss the chance to win one at a great price”

Additional items up for bid include two houses and one multi-parcel development property located in Grand Junction, Colorado.  The homes are in a prime location, situated close to Grand Junction High School, Mesa State College and the local hospital.  The properties are older homes built in the 1950’s making them great opportunities for any investor, fixer-upper, house flipper or first-time home buyer.  The parcel development is split into two smaller parcels, .62 acres and 2.4 acres.  They are ready to be developed and are located adjacent to the Summit View Estates subdivision, making them quality development property in Grand Junction.

“This auction provides lots of opportunities for real estate investors.  The market is still very strong in Grand Junction and we are happy to be offering these homes and development acres to the public at auction,” said Carpenter. 

And if that isn’t enough to offer, this auction also includes antiques, collectibles, furniture, artwork, glassware and vehicles available for live online bidding.  Items you’ll want to check out include Hummel figurines, Norman Rockwell collector plates, Collector’s Guild original Salvador Dali etchings, and 1950’s record sets.
