`
`Auctions Change the Focus!
`
`Be sure and return regularly
`for the latest In farm
`properties in the upper
`midwest
`
`1. Seller obtains offers instead of waiting for the buyer to get around to
`making a move.
`2. Price gets built up through bidding rather than negotiating it
`downward. A more positive approach.
`3. Seller can determine the time value of money in comparison to the
`sale price rather than waiting and having the “HOLDING COST” actually
`increase.
`4. Seller is “using” the competition between buyers, instead of the
`competition between other “for sale" properties to determine the sale
`price.

`
`BENEFITS TO THE SELLER:
`1. Price determination is made by competitive bidding.
`2. Definite sale date of an auction reduces time delays and hastens
`closings.
`3. There are no contingencies, property sells as is.
`4. There is no haggling or continued negotiating.
`5. More dollars net in the seller's pocket.
`
`ONLY NORTH CENTRAL OFFERS YOU REALAUCTION
`
`RealAuction ® is a registered service mark and computerized auction
`system exclusively available from NORTH CENTRAL Ag. Service, Inc.
`
`Since 1980, we have offered the unique computerized system of public
`bidding. The system maximizes the price received by the seller on the
`properties that deserve to be divided into a number of parcels. The
`system increases the bidder competition, then broadening the market
`and increasing the total price received by the seller.
`
`WHY YOU WOULD CHOOSE REALAUCTION?
`Works best on farms and other land that will benefit from offering same
`in parcels. ie: natural division lines or multiple uses such as residential
`sites, hunting land or tillable land exists on the same farm.
`
`This feature can create cross bidding, thereby increasing competition
`which produces maximum prices.
`
`Works to the advantage when good local demand exists
`Forces the prospective buyer to make a decision
`Works best in areas where auctioning land is familiar to the buyer.
`
`A TESTIMONIAL
`“Our family is pleased with the outcome of the sale. It certainly brought
`a higher total price than we would have been able to negotiate with
`interested buyers. I am very impressed with the workings and effects of
`your “RealAuction” method of selling. It was interesting to discover that

`MARK: Rea|Auction.com (Standard Characters)
`
`The mark consists of standard characters, without claim to any particular font, style, size, or color.
`
`The literal element of the mark consists of RealAuction.com.
`
`‘Ne have received your application and assigned serial number '78753583' to your submission. The summary of
`the application data below serves as your official filing receipt. For electronically-submitted applications, the
`USPTO will no longer mail a paper filing receipt. If the USPTO later determines that no filing date was justified,
`your submission will be returned, and your filing fee will be refunded. You could then, if possible, cure the
`deficiency, and re-file the application.
`
`If you determine that you made an error in the information you entered, you may file a preliminary amendment
`electronically, stating your proposed correction, at http://www.uspto.gov/teas/eTEASpageB2.htm. NOTE: You
`cannot file a Preliminary Amendment until at least 30 days after initial filing of the application. Prior to that time,
`the serial number will not appear in the USPTO database (even though the number was assigned at the time of
`filing), preventing the uploading of new data.
`
`In approximately SEVEN (7) months, your application will be assigned to a USPTO examining
`attorney. The examining attorney will determine whether the change proposed in the amendment is permissible,
`within the normal course of his or her review of the application. Please note that not all errors may be corrected;
`for example, if you submitted the wrong mark or the incorrect goods and/or services, if the proposed correction
`would be considered a material alteration to your original filing, this will NOT be accepted. Unfortunately, your only
`recourse in that event is to re-file - your fee would NOT be refunded. Once you submit an application, either
`electronically or through the mail, we will not cancel the filing or refund your fee, unless the application fails to
`satisfy minimum filing requirements. The fee is a processing fee, which we do not refund even if we cannot issue
`a registration after our substantive review.
`NOTE: If you have a technical concern about your specific application, or a question or comment about electronic
`filing in general, please send an e-mail to teas@uspto.gov. For general (i.e., non-technical) trademark information,
`please e-mail TrademarkAssistanceCenter@uspto.gov, or telephone 1-800-786-9199.
`Status Information: Check Trademark Applications and Registrations Retrieval to view current status
`information, as well as the complete prosecution history. Do not attempt to check status until at least 15 days
`after submission of a filing, to allow sufficient time for all USPTO databases to be updated. You can view all items
`listed in the prosecution history section online at Trademark Document Retrieval, including all office actions sent
`by the USPTO.
