2023-12-15: Hälsinglands Auktionsverk Auction House of the year
Hälsinglands Auktionsverk has been named the Auction House of the Year 2023! Auctionet has established the award Auction House of the Year with the aim of encouraging Auctionet-affiliated auction houses to focus even more on ensuring the highest possible customer satisfaction. The title is awarded annually to the auction house with the highest Net Promoter Score (NPS) during a designated competition period. The award has been presented by Auctionet since 2019, with previous winners including Ekenbergs Auktioner, Laholms Auktionskammare, and Lysekils Auktionsbyrå. This year's winner, Hälsinglands Auktionsverk, located in Hudiksvall, joined Auctionet in 2019 and has since sold over 20,000 items.
2023-12-06: Great start for Karlstad Hammarö at Auctionet!
At the beginning of December 2023, the first items were hammered down at Karlstad Hammarö Auktionsverk after joining Auctionet. The newcomer immediately presented a rich and diverse range of items, and as of now, approximately a thousand lots have been auctioned. The start can hardly be described in any other way than an immediate success. Magnus Persson, CEO of Karlstad Hammarö, formulates it like this:
"The launch on Auctionet has far exceeded our expectations! The final prices have exceeded our valuations by an average of 25%. We have also seen evidence of the tremendous diversity among buyers who have booked shipments to many different countries."
2023-11-03: Auctionet presents a new visual identity
"We are very pleased and satisfied with our new visual identity. Auctionet has grown rapidly in recent years, and it feels important for us to present an updated exterior that aligns with our strong position in the auction market, both in Sweden and internationally."
This statement comes from Johan Axelsson, Marketing Manager at Auctionet. The work to develop the new visual identity has been carried out in collaboration with the brand and design agency Affairs. Patrik Beskow, Co-founder and Creative Director of Affairs, suggests that the diversity in Auctionet's offerings has been the foundation for the new brand identity:
"Auctionet is a platform where people can explore and buy objects that span the spectrums of high and low, old and new, cheap and expensive, fine and ugly. It is these contrasts that form the underlying idea for the identity. Creating a framework where the diversity of objects can interact and generate energy."
2023-09-28: High prices at Sajab Vintage and Auctionet.com
Sajab Vintage and Auctionet got a taste of their collaboration as the Liljegren Motorcycle Collection was auctioned for over 17.8 million SEK, excluding commissions. The most expensive item was the extremely rare 1912 Pierce Four motorcycle, which sold for 960,012 SEK, excluding commission. The second most expensive was a blue 1920 Ace, reaching a price of 901,055 SEK, excluding commission. Additionally, 16 more motorcycles were sold at prices exceeding 300,000 SEK each.
"Auctionet is a natural destination for collectors worldwide, and it's very exciting to reach the international motorcycle audience with this unique collection. Collectors from near and far participated in bidding for these sought-after models," says Andreas Siesing, Curator at Auctionet."
