"Purple Wave orchestrated a major business transaction for me and I was pleasantly surprised and pleased by the ease and efficiency in which they handled the entire process. Purple Wave Auction's professionalism, energy and willingness to do whatever was needed was second to none. Their integrity in every aspect of our dealings was just as they had promised. I would recommend Purple Wave Auction, without reservation, to anyone in need of their services."
Gregg Schmidt, Mid-America Exteriors, Inc., Owner

"We have had very good response on selling our inventory and equipment items at Purple Wave Auction. We have been doing this for several years with no problems. We received good pay back for items sold. I would recommend them to any business or other state agency for auction services."
Fred Bammes, Kansas State University Facilities Procurement Office I

"The Lincoln County Highway Department has used Purple Wave, Inc., several times to sell surplus supplies and equipment. We have been very pleased with their amount and quality of advertising. They are a very professional auctioneering company and they treat all items, whether they are large or small, in the same manner. The employees that we have dealt with, from first listing an item to completing the transactions, are knowledgeable in their job and about the company. We especially like the way that they handle the Internet bidding and the settlement. That leaves our employees free to do the jobs they were hired to do instead of being salesmen and accounts payable clerks."

"I have been given the duty of coordinating the sale of seized property for the State of Kansas with Purple Wave for the last few years. Prior to contracting with Purple Wave the State of Kansas facilitated its own auction by hiring and auctioneer and then the State was responsible for all advertising, lotting, clerking, cashiering, etc. I was involved with this earlier procedure and literally spent hundreds of hours preparing for a single auction. We now use Purple Wave Auction Company to perform all of these duties which has significantly reduced the number of labor hours required of myself and other State employees. The State of Kansas has also seen a large increase in the net revenue received from the seizure auctions. I attribute this increase entirely to Purple Wave due to their Internet format, professional staff and positive customer service attitude."
Darci Hamilton, Kansas Department of Revenue - Alcoholic Beverage Control Division Enforcement Agent

"The Facilities Operations Department at the University of Kansas has used Purple Wave Auction service since March 2006 to dispose of surplus vehicles, furniture, tools and equipment. The eight auctions conducted to date have generated over $180,000 in net return to the University. The services and results provided by Purple Wave are far superior to any surplus disposal system heretofore available to Facilities Operations. The computer system used by Purple Wave is state-of-the-art. The staff members are friendly, accurate, cooperative and efficient. Purple Wave is well-known and their website has a considerable customer base which results in the University receiving fair market value and above for most items sold. Purple Wave is persistent in collecting from difficult bidders and remits to the University promptly following the end of an auction. This system has worked very well for KU and the type of surplus property we generally have for sale. We look forward to continuing the good relationship we have with Purple Wave."

"My business partner and I have been thrilled with our association with Purple Wave. We purchased a warehouse from them, and then sold our existing warehouse and office building through them. The process was very easy and clear. A bonus is Purple Wave's employees. They were efficient, informative and honest. Purple Wave is a good solution to your auction needs."

"I did not try any other method of selling my land. The land had been appraised at $2,000 per acre. If I had decided to sell it through traditional methods, that's all we would have gotten, maybe less. By going through auction with the multi-par system, we realized $3,400 per acre. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out which you would rather have."
