UEP's Steve Butcher comments: "We had bits of kit here collecting dust for ages which we always meant to sell on, but never got around to doing anything about it for a variety of reasons ......and I kept encountering people in this exact same situation. A major reason no-one was selling their unwanted kit was that they didn't have the time to get it together - it was always last on the agenda and something that no-one ever got around to. Also, until now, EBAY was the only serious option to reach a wide audience."
Butcher has decided to take advantage of this gap in the market with Audiovisualbay, making it simple and quick for people who want to shift equipment to get it in front of thousands of interested potential buyers, say the company.
Audiovisualbay has been specifically designed for those with small to medium amounts of kit they want to move - anything from a single PAR can or projector to complete truss roof systems. Products available through audiovisualbay.co.uk include lighting, sound, data & video, mains, rigging, flightcases, etc.
How Audiovisualbay works:
Sellers can contact the admin team via email or telephone giving details of the items they wish to sell, complete with a brief description, a couple of photos, item location, warranty information, and the target selling price. The info is uploaded to the website and seen by thousands of potential of industry professionals.
Buyers also contact Audiovisualbay by email or phone, detailing the items they want to purchase. They are put in direct contact with the seller and the purchase is then negotiated between buyer and seller.
On completion of the sale, Audiovisualbay invoices the seller a commission of 10% to cover running costs, advertising etc, ...... there are no catches - no sale no fee - it's that simple.
