About Company

DoveBid, Inc. is the successor to Dove Brothers, LLC, one of the world's leading auctioneers and capital asset sale advisors. DoveBid's wholly owned and separately operated subsidiary, DoveBid Valuation Services, provides diversified asset appraisal services.

DoveBid is proud of its 60-year tradition of maximizing value for thousands of sellers throughout the world. DoveBid began in 1937 when its founder, Harry Ross, picked up a gavel and sold his first piece of machinery. By the 1980's, our firm pioneered the use of auctions in high technology by selling the assets of Osborne Computer - the first computer auction in history. Six decades after its founding, the firm has maintained its legacy of leadership by conducting many of the world's largest, most successful auctions on behalf of corporations, government agencies and financial institutions.

DoveBid has conducted over 5,000 industry specific auctions throughout the world selling over 10,000,000 individual lots. Buyers from Santa Clara to Singapore have responded by purchasing over US$5 billion in assets. Our database of buyers grows with each campaign. DoveBid brings liquidity to the marketplace by maximizing seller value through competitive bidding - the ultimate indicator of market value.
