There are a range of traditional options available for disposing of surplus assets - resell them to another company or to a dealer, re-deploy them internally, barter them, donate them, etc. This Guide reviews the pros and cons of the various traditional options.
The Guide also reviews how the Internet is changing the way companies dispose of surplus. The driving force has been the evolution of Internet marketplaces, where thousands of businesses come together to transact business quickly and efficiently. Within these marketplaces, one method of sale that is being used with great success is the online auction. By tapping into the large pool of buyers at the marketplace, sellers can generate real competition and realize optimal market pricing on the items they sell.
The appendix of this Guide includes some valuable reference sections, including a directory of key trade and professional associations.
