Before hiring a liquidator, find out what services and prices are offered.
Finding a reputable liquidator can be difficult, especially with all the online auction sites available. By using the Better Business Bureau's website, you can find a listing of liquidators near you, or you can research a liquidator before hiring one. If you're looking for a liquidator with national or international auctions, a simple Internet search should do the trick. With a little research and consumer caution, you can find the right liquidator for your home or business.
