Introducing Metal Suppliers Online Auctions

Metal Suppliers Online Auctions give your business an entirely new channel to buy and sell metals. Liquidate excess and unused inventory by expanding your market globally. The Metal Suppliers Online website is visited daily by thousands of industry professionals seeking up-to-the-minute supplier and product information. And our direct marketing initiatives are expanding this highly focused audience every month.

How It Works

Metal Suppliers Online Auctions will soon be accessible from our homepage. Sellers choose to list their item(s) in our Auction or Fixed-Price formats. They can choose an Open, Semi-Private or Private auction for their materials.

Open Auctions are shown to all potential buyers. Semi-Private Auctions are only shown to buyers that meet the seller's criteria, i.e. Metals Distributors, members of the NAAD or SSCI, or only to buyers on the West Coast. Private Auctions allow the seller to personally promote their auction to specified buyers. This feature allows the buyer to create his/ her own personal auction channels.

Once posted, the market takes over! Sellers are not required to sell an item until their predetermined "reserve price" has been met or exceeded.

When a seller lists an auction, the MSO database scans the demographics of over 20,000 potential buyers and creates a broadcast "MSO Alert" email to just the buyers that will be interested in the metals being offered.

Buyers can browse the Online Auction listings free of charge, then place orders or bids on items of interest. If the Seller accepts their order or bid, the Buyer is only responsible for paying the agreed-upon price to the Seller. Both parties win!

The Bottom Line

Excess and unused metals impact the balance sheets of manufacturers, distributors and end users alike. Instead of sending these metals to a scrap house for pennies on the dollar, Sellers can now maximize the value of this excess inventory for an immediate boost to their organization's bottom line. Buyers can maximize their purchasing budget by checking the Online Auction first for great deals on their next purchase.
