QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
200 N. MAIN, NASHVILLE, AR
BAKER’S EASY PAY STORE
REAL ESTATE WILL BE SOLD AT 10:00 AM
1.Q. How will the real estate be offered?
A. The real estate will be offered in two ways.
1) First, it will be offered as a business with all inventory including the approx. $30,000 in accounts receivables. This bid will be noted and then we will move on to the second way it will be offered.
2) Second, we will then take bids on the real estate only. We will then take bids on the accounts receivables only. These two bids will be noted. We will then take bids on separate pieces of the inventory.
If the price of the (a) real estate, (b) accounts receivables, and (c) pieced out inventory is more than the noted bid for the business and inventory combined, then it will sell that way. Everything will sell, and it is our job to sell it the way it will bring the greatest for our clients.
