Find Aircraft for Sale at Aviation Auctions
Aviation Auctions is an online auction market with dozens of helicopters and business jets for sale at any of our monthly auctions. Buying your next helicopter or business jet from us will provide some unique benefits over other approaches:
- Get the Best Deal: Everyone knows that auctions bring out the best deals. Why not try it when finding helicopters for sale. All of our auctions not only have a reserve price but each allows you to “Make an Offer”. Go ahead and try it. Who knows? The Seller just might take it.
- Low Buyers Risk: Aviation Auctions is different than other auction formats. At a traditional auction, it is “buyer beware”. Our format is more buyer friendly. Once an auction ends, the deal is not official until an onsite inspection is completed. This allows you to be absolutely sure the helicopter was accurately represented. Upon arrival, if you find something wrong that was not disclosed in the auction AND the seller is not willing to help make it right, then you are no longer obligated to buy the helicopter.
- Minimized Seller Expenses Means Better Deals: We sell the aircraft online and it is sold “as is, where is”. This cuts down on unnecessary moving expenses as often seen with live auctions. This means this initial transport cost is not going to be factored into their asking price thereby getting you a better deal.
- Fast and Efficient: Our site contains ongoing listings and monthly we hold an online auction. Most auctions run for 30 days and during that time, we coordinate any inspections and questions between the bidders and seller. Once a winner is declared and the seller accepts their bid, funds are usually received into escrow with 48 – 72 hours.
- Bid at Your Convenience: Our auctions run for an entire month and our auction technology is fully mobile. So bid whenever and wherever you want. Find the latest helicopters and business jets for sale while you are at the office, at home or on the go!
About our Process – Helicopters and Business Jets for Sale
Our aviation auctions are a hybrid between an online auction and an online listing. The auction format allows us to create an event, to attract and identify prospective buyers for our advertised aircraft for sale. During the auction process, the aircraft remains “as is, where is”. (Unlike a traditional auction, the final bid is not binding unless the Seller formally agrees to the offer AND the buyer conducts a successful onsite inspection.)
Once the auction ends or should an acceptable offer be submitted, the winner is required to submit a 3% deposit which is held in escrow. The winner has 21 days from the end of the auction to schedule a pre-buyer inspection in order to keep the deposit refundable. Assuming that everything is to both parties satisfaction, the bid is finalized and the sale goes to closing. However the Seller reserves the right to reject any bids based on credit worthiness and final destination country.
