Felix Conrado Gassiebayle, the Conrado Auctioneer as he is best known, began his journey in the field of art and antique auctions about eight years ago when he returned from Buenos Aires, where he studied to become an expert in works of art.
Since then, the public auctioneer has immersed himself in the project, which makes it possible to take to all layers of the population, access to the acquisition of paintings and sculptures by renowned artists from around the world, as well as fine and imported crystals, oriental rugs, porcelain, antiques, collectibles such as coins and banknotes, vehicles, real estate, a multitude of items, for a very affordable price. Its main objective in the profession is to ensure that as many people as possible can meet, have access to and admire the splendor of works of art and antiques and ensure that they do not get lost in time and preserve the memory of the artists.
THE AUCTIONS
As the auctions are online, the customer only needs to register on the auctioneer’s website to be able to bid online before and during the trading session, which is broadcast live, in the security of their home. After the end of the auction, an email is sent with the payment details and the customer can choose to pick up the pieces on-site or ask for them to be sent by mail or carrier. This format also allows them to sell items they no longer need at the auction, making them reuse the things they no longer need by others and still generating a considerable profit for the customer.
STAY IN
What is the profile of the auction customer?
There is no longer a specific profile to participate in auctions, as an online auction platform was developed, which allows access to people of all purchasing powers, tastes, and needs. The taboo that only people with high purchasing power can participate in auctions has been broken. My goal since the beginning of my career was to make my auction accessible to everyone!
How to avoid the traps?
They should look up the name of the auctioneer with the Board of Commerce of their state and check that their registration is correct. It is also important to check if the Auctioneer and the organizer are registered with IPHAN, the government agency that oversees the sale of stolen art and antiques.
What products can we purchase at auction?
Anything that can be legally sold can be sold at an auction. The sky is the limit!
Advantages of purchasing products at auctions?
Auction is 100% opportunity! People sell because they need to, and the buyer takes this chance to buy items well below their market value.
Difference between online and face-to-face auctions?
The on-site auction is the traditional model, but is increasingly rare these days, especially in times of pandemic. In an online auction, the bidder does not need to leave the house, being able to bid anywhere in the world with just one click using a computer, tablet, or mobile phone.
