The business landscape has changed so much to the point that information, goods and services can be bought and sold in nano seconds. Buyers and sellers no longer need to be present to buy and sale,  or need to be stuck at a desk to wait for sale results. The World Wide Web and Smart Phone technology has made it possible to buy and sell on the go and on your time. The educational landscape has change to the point that the "new classroom" is in the comfort of you own home or your own  handheld device. Many industry experts and insiders has predicted that this will be the "new" American business model going forward. To that end the North American Trade Exchange attends many technology and software trade shows each year to keep abreast of what is the latest and most cutting edge technology available on the market. 

The North American Trade Exchange also believes in buyer and seller education. We want you to be an informed client whether using NATE or any other auction firm. We believe in making an informed and educated decision on whether to buy or sell. Which is one of the reasons why we provide many industry educational links as well as educational and instructional supplemental resources. Many auction firms will provide a FAQ section and tell you what you want to hear or what they want you to hear. NATE provides these resources in order to educate you and allow you make your own decisions. At NATE we prefer to utilize the non-sales, non pressure, educated client approach to creating our auction sales. So with NATE you know that you are making an informed and educated decision to buy or sell at auction.
