Lab Oven

DoveBid’s expert auction experience and market knowledge ensures that clients receive the greatest return from the disposal of their capital assets. In order for companies to dispose of their surplus and idle capital assets effectively, it would have to be done through an industry-specific auction. This applies more so for the sale of specialized equipment, such as lab ovens and instruments. Dovebid offers this service, as well as other surplus asset management services.

DoveBid’s experience of over six decades makes it a leader in bringing liquidity into the market place. By undergoing a comprehensive asset preparation process, a capital asset such as a lab oven is expertly valuated and given adequate exposure by targeted marketing. All major capital assets to be auctioned are digitally photographed and listed online. Extensive marketing is done through print media, such as newspapers, brochures and post cards, as well as on Internet campaigns and through fax and email.

Dovebid offers clients a Surplus Asset Management program, over and above DoveBid’s auction and valuation services. This program offers complete asset management solutions – from procuring used assets to efficient asset disposal. Many companies have surplus or idle capital assets around the organization. These capital assets can be in the form of surplus lab ovens, food vans that are not used, or machinery that has been updated with a later model. These assets do not provide any value to the company but are soaking up capital at the same time by taking up valuable warehouse space.

With the help of DoveBid’s Surplus Asset Management program, these assets can be systematically identified and listed on an inventory. Once these assets achieve visibility throughout all divisions of the organization, the decision can be made as to whether it would be more feasible to dispose of them or if they can be redeployed. A lab oven that is not used in one division of a company may be in need elsewhere within the same company. This saves the company from making unnecessary purchases when their existing idle capital assets can be redeployed.

Dovebid also offers various value-added services for buyers. An email alert will inform a buyer once the item he/she is searching for becomes available. Dovebid has many buyers who wish to make purchases of items across states or countries. To assist these buyers, Dovebid provides an Inspection Service. A buyer who cannot personally view a lab oven, for example, can opt to have a trained and experienced inspector to view the oven instead. The inspector will then report back to the prospective buyer with regard to the asset’s specifications, capacity and condition. This service assists remote buyers with their decision to buy. International buyers can also view certain assets through a 360-degree virtual tour that is available in multiple languages.
