Savvy Pro Feature

 
 

Buy It...Sell It - Access the World with Savvy Pro Auction

TruckSavvy.com is introducing a new feature...the Savvy Pro Auction.

Do you have equipment you no longer use, overstocks of parts collecting dust or tools that are surplus to your needs?

Or do you need equipment, tools or parts that are hard to find locally at a reasonable cost.

TruckSavvy.com can be the solution to both of these problems..

The Savvy Pro Auction is an on-line auction service that will advertise your surplus parts, tools, equipment and what have you to the thousands of Truck Professionals who look to TruckSavvy.com each month for the information they need.

The Savvy Pro Auction is easy to use.  Once you register as a Savvy Pro Auction user, you can add an item to the auction site any time you want. 

You can set a minimum (reserve) price for your item, or you can conduct a Dutch Auction to sell multiple, duplicate items.

The Getting Started section of Savvy Pro Auction offers many tips on conducting a successful sale and includes a schedule of fees.

During our introduction, you can list your items for free and only pay a small fee when your auction is completed.

Turn your unwanted parts, tools and equipment to cash with the Savvy Pro Auction.  Go to the www.TruckSavvy.com home page and click on Auction to learn how.
