ATX Auctions – Jared’s Auction Journey on HiBid

Sometimes, life takes unexpected turns that lead to extraordinary journeys. Jared’s career in the auction industry is a prime example of this. Originally part of the senior management team at a top-tier fitness equipment company, Jared found himself in the liquidation group, a role that introduced him to the world of auctions. It was through this chance encounter that he met his future partners, Jeff and Derek. What started as a casual involvement in liquidation quickly evolved into a full-fledged auction business, and today, Jared is the driving force behind one of the largest location-based auction houses in the country.

From Liquidations to Weekly Auctions: A Bold Experiment

When Jared first ventured into the auction business, he faced a unique challenge: how to stand out in an industry that’s been around for centuries. His solution? Auctioning off liquidations every week. It was a risky move, but one that paid off. Unlike traditional retail businesses, Jared saw auctions as a dynamic way to move inventory quickly, creating a unique shopping experience where you never know what you’re going to get. “Every day is Christmas in the liquidation business,” Jared says with a grin. And for his customers, it truly is.

Tips from the Pros: Buyer and Seller Advice

For buyers, Jared’s advice is straightforward: “Read descriptions, look at photos, and don’t be an emotional bidder.” It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of an auction, but a little caution can go a long way. For sellers, his advice is equally important: “Be honest and transparent.” In a business built on trust, these qualities are non-negotiable.

The Little Moments That Matter

Among the many highlights of his career, one moment stands out for Jared. A little boy once visited one of ATX Auctions’ events and excitedly shared that he had bought a bed. It turned out to be the boy’s first bed—he had been sleeping on a couch before that. For Jared, this moment was a powerful reminder of the impact auctions can have on people’s lives, offering them access to items they might not otherwise be able to afford.
