“Commission sale with option to buy”
Selling high-quality cameras and valuable lenses takes time. And as we all know, time is money.
That's why we offer you the option of taking the "time risk" and getting more money from the proceeds of the sale.
You relieve us of the capital commitment of an immediate purchase and thus achieve higher proceeds from the actual sales price.
How does it work?
You leave us your items on “commission with purchase option”. We check and evaluate all parts in detail, if necessary we organize the repair and assume the repair costs.
As a retailer, we offer our customers valuable services and security, such as the option of returns or warranties. The resulting trust bonus increases the sales value of the article.
If the article is successfully sold, we perceive the "self-entry of the commission agent according to HGB" and acquire the article from you. So we only buy the item from you with an agreed commission rate at the point at which it has been resold.
What is the advantage or difference the purchase option for a "normal" commission transaction?
In "normal" commission sales, the sale is usually made in the name of the dealer and for the account of the (previous) owner. The buyer acquires the item through a dealer, but not from the dealer himself. The dealer then does not have to assume any warranty obligations, for example. Due to the lower rights and "guarantees" for the buyer, the price will be correspondingly lower. Ultimately, the sales price achieved (minus the sales commission) determines the amount paid out.
The sale on commission with a purchase option thus combines the advantages of a dealer offer, including all consumer rights for the customer, with the possibilities of a commission transaction.
The purchase option is particularly interesting for valuable pieces and large collections.
We would be happy to advise you.
