Book excerpt: Auctions have always been regarded as a highly effective real estate sales method for achieving peak value for vendors. But the majority of Australian agents tend to baulk at the idea of going to auction unless all the stars align perfectly - a seller's market, a unique or special property or circumstances and an auction savvy marketplace. As a result, only a small percentage of properties across Australia on average is listed for auction each year. And yet auction advocates know and consistently prove that a well-run auction can benefit just about any type of seller, property type and market conditions. Up until now, only the industry's top agents have possessed the skills to navigate the additional challenges that auctions present to create repeatable auction success. Friendly Auctions address those challenges from an entirely new angle. By focusing on making the process friendlier on buyers, sellers and in turn, agents, the Friendly Auction System gives you the tools you need to consistently nail the auction process.The Friendly Auction System is the result of evolving the traditional auction to suit the modern marketplace. Almost a decade in the making, the system has been thoroughly tested in marketplaces, from those where auctions run hot to those where [they auctions] are strongly resisted by buyers, sellers and agents. In each marketplace, they have resulted in a better acceptance of auctions, greater bidder numbers and superior clearance rates.Whether you're just beginning your auction journey or you're an 'auction champion' looking to gain a new edge over your competition, this book will add some powerful new tools to your auction toolkit.

On any given day, more than two million items are listed for sale on eBay, from everyday objects to kitsch and collectibles to the truly bizarre.

Download or read book Plunder written by Brendan Ballou and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authoritative exposé of private equity: what it is, how it kills businesses and jobs, how the government helps, and how we stop it Private equity surrounds us. Firms like Blackstone, Carlyle, and KKR are among the largest employers in America and hold assets that rival those of small countries. Yet few understand what these firms are or how they work. In Plunder, Brendan Ballou explains how private equity has reshaped American business by raising prices, reducing quality, cutting jobs, and shifting resources from productive to unproductive parts of the economy. Ballou vividly illustrates how many private equity firms buy up retailers, medical practices, prison services, nursing-home chains, and mobile-home parks, among other businesses, using little of their own money to do it and avoiding debt and liability for their actions. Forced to take on huge debts and pay extractive fees, companies purchased by private equity firms are often left bankrupt, or shells of their former selves, with consequences to communities that long depended on them. Perhaps most startling is Ballou’s insight into how this is happening with the active support of various arms of the government. But, as Ballou reveals in an agenda for reining in the industry, private equity can be stopped from wreaking further havoc.

Download or read book Renewable Energy Auctions written by Anton Eberhard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-02-16 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renewable Energy Auctions provides an overview of renewable energy auctions globally, focusing on the Global South, since this is where auctions have been pioneered and provided most transformative results. Renewable energy auctions have become the dominant method for contracting utility-scale renewable energy projects, in large part due to the cost-efficient tariffs secured through this method. The ascent of auctions has been particularly rapid and transformative in the Global South, where many countries have secured renewable energy supplies at record-breaking prices. This book analyses the experiences of frontier auction markets in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and India, with the aim of improving how auctions are designed and implemented globally. The book goes beyond the topic of auction design - which is concerned with the micro-economics of design choices - to include auction implementation. Across ten chapters, the authors argue that choices around the auction implementing institution and the procurement process are overlooked in most publications on the subject, yet this is often a key factor for determining outcomes. Moving beyond the program level of analysis (auction design and implementation), the book includes both country and project level factors' impacts on auction outcomes, ultimately highlighting that successful price and investment outcomes are dependent upon integration of all three levels of auction design and implementation.

Download or read book D rer s Lost Masterpiece written by Ulinka Rublack and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dürer's Lost Masterpiece tracks the history of a turning point in the career of the celebrated German artist Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), when he stopped painting altarpieces after arguing with a merchant patron over payment. As an eloquent homage to Dürer ́s life, it brings us closer to the creation and meaning of his paintings than ever before. Dürer's Lost Masterpiece considers the celebrated German artist Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), his time and his legacy. It tracks the history of a crucial, and often overlooked, turning point in his career, when Dürer stopped painting altarpieces after falling out with the Frankfurt merchant Jacob Heller over a commission. The story of this painting, as Dürer ́s lost masterpiece, functions as a lens through which to view the new relationship developing between art, collecting and commerce in Europe up to the Thirty Years ́ War (1618-1648) when global trade and cultural exchanges were increasing. At the heart of the book is the argument that merchants, and their mentalities, were crucial for the making of Renaissance art and its legacy for modern art. The book draws on a decade of research, and uniquely draws the reader into the rich emotional worlds of three merchants each of whom typified the evolving relationship between art and commerce in that entrepreneurial, and often ruthless, age. It brings to life Dürer ́s determined fight for creative makers to be adequately paid and explores the big questions about how European societies came to value the arts and crafts that remain relevant to our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a little known fact that all across America each month, thousands of storage units are auctioned off because the tenants have failed to pay the rent. The vast majority of these units will be sold well below what they are worth. This creates an opportunity for the ambitious, risk taking investor. It is possible to buy these units and profit from the sale of the items they contain. I, personally, have seen profits in one day that put a years worth of stock market gains to shame. You might ask yourself why you have not heard about these opportunities before. Well, the answer is that auction buyers know how much money they can make and are careful not to reveal their secrets. Inside this book, I break this code of silence. Learn how you can take part in this great opportunity!

Russia is in the midst of a rapid economic and geopolitical renaissance under the rule of Vladimir Putin, a tenacious KGB officer turned modern-day tsar. Understanding his rise to power provides the keys to understanding the shift in the energy trade from Saudi Arabia to Russia. This powerful new position threatens to unravel the political dominance of the United States once and for all. Discover how political coups, hostile takeovers, and assassinations have brought Russia to the center of the world's energy market Follow Putin's rise to power and how it has led to an upsetting of the global balance of trade Learn how Russia toppled a generation of robber barons and positioned itself as the most powerful force in the energy market Study Putin's long-range plans and their potential impact on the United States and the U.S. dollar If Putin's plans are successful, not only will Russia be able to starve other countries of power, but the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) will replace the G7 in wealth and clout. The Colder War takes a hard look at what is to come in a new global energy market that is certain to cause unprecedented impact on the U.S. dollar and the American way of life.
