Years of experience in the buying, selling, marketing and trading environment enabled Basic Sense to develop its unique product and service offering, allowing individuals and companies to buy and sell items in a secure, cost-effective and flexible manner. We realise our customers are constantly plugged in and engaging online, so it only made sense to extend our unique product and service offering to our online presence.

A lot of careful thought and planning has gone into designing this website and our various online service offerings, our goal being simply to provide you with the best “customer experience” possible.

To make sure we are getting this right, we are developing this website completely out in the open. Starting in April this year, we launched the website and requested our customers and business associates to user-test each new feature, functionality and service offering as we roll them out. For most businesses this type of intimate “unveiling” of a new website or service offering would be downright unnerving, but, for us, consulting- and collaborating with our valued customers is core to developing our customer focused service offerings.  

Utilising this website you can now browse through our upcoming formal actions, view featured lots and conveniently pre-register as a bidder for any upcoming formal auction. Themed formal auctions, known as “In the Pipeline Events”, are advertised months in advance, offering you the opportunity to participate as a seller by submitting items that meet the advertised criteria.

Using our well established auction infrastructure and industry knowledge, we have extended our auction services to online bidding which will be launched shortly. Verified account holders will be able to quickly and easily bid and pay for lots online. To provide our bidders with added peace of mind and bidding confidence, all online auction lots are displayed in our showroom and can be viewed during the advertised viewing period. Additionally, all sellers and bidders are identified and verified in strict adherence to the regulations of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001. For your convenience and online payment security, we utilise PayFast to process our online payments.

Other features and services provided on this website include the Classifieds Environment, Business Directory, Online Calendar, Blog, Frequently Asked Questions, User Resource Centre and informational pages about our various service offerings.

This website will continue to develop over the coming weeks and months, with various new features, functionalities and service offerings being rolled out. Keep an eye on our Noticeboard to stay up to date with all the latest releases and development information. 

Please take some time to explore everything our new site has to offer, and let us know about your experience. You can use our convenient online Contact Form to let us know what you think, give us ideas, or suggest something you’d like us to include in future development.
