About
COORDINATING YOUR TRADITIONAL AUCTIONS WITH A MODERN TWIST
Welcome To Cal Auctions & Estate Sales
Cal Auctions & Estate Sales was formed in 2011 to provide online auction services for the commercial and estate community. Trained in the live auction method of selling, we realized that selling assets online to the ultimate consumer was what we did best. With our innovative processes, we pride ourselves in being able to sell just about anything. Entering into our 8th year in business, we strive to stay on the cutting edge of the online auction industry. What can we help you sell? or Buy?
What We Sell
Today, Cal Auctions conducts internet-only sales both large and small throughout the United States.
The flexibility and reach of the internet is ideally suited for all types of equipment and inventories.
Cal Auctions sales include high-end designer furniture stores, diesel generators, party rental companies, IT switchgear, franchise restaurants, corporate headquarters, office furniture and business equipment, guard dogs and frozen fish inventory, to name a few.
The Un-Ebay
Unlike eBay or CraigsList, which sell a single item to a single buyer, CalAuctions.com is an event based liquidation site. Each event has a location, scheduled preview, closing and removal and sells many assets to many buyers.
We are a little bit traditional (with previews and pickups), a little bit eBay (online bidding), and something altogether different (event based, photo catalogs and credit card only payments).
Custom Auction Solutions
As specialists in the sale of commercial or personal property, our innovation, expertise and marketing skills consistently result in the highest possible return. Committed to our client’s satisfaction, we give the same care and attention when selling one item or an entire business. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your project and evaluate your assets at no charge.
Call us to discuss your orderly liquidation or specialty auction project at (619) 326-9690 or contact us on our contact page.
