Here's exactly what happens when you consign equipment with us — and the other ways we can structure a deal if consignment's timeline doesn't fit your situation.
Tell us what you're looking to move — one machine, a partial shop, or a full plant closure. We'll ask a few basic questions about equipment type, condition, and your timeline so we can prepare for the walkthrough.
We inspect your equipment on-site at no cost. Because our background is hands-on machinery work, we can assess actual run-status and condition — not just guess from a photo. You'll get a realistic estimate of what your equipment should bring at auction.
We sign a simple consignment agreement covering commission, reserve pricing (if any), and timeline.
Your equipment is photographed, cataloged, and marketed to our buyer network and listing platforms. Buyers can inspect in person before bidding. See how we market every sale.
We schedule removal directly with each buyer — you just provide access on pickup day. Once the buyer's payment clears, your proceeds are paid out to you.
Need equipment safely removed, or set and installed at its new location? Our crew can handle rigging and installation for sellers or buyers who need it.
We don't buy equipment — we sell it for you. You keep ownership until it sells at auction, and we're paid only from the proceeds.
Your equipment stays yours until the auction closes. Nothing changes hands until a buyer has paid.
No listing fees or upfront charges. We earn a commission from the sale proceeds — so we only do well when you do.
Set a minimum price you're willing to accept on key machines. If the reserve isn't met, we'll talk through next steps together.
From initial walkthrough to funds in hand, timeline varies with equipment type and auction schedule. Consignment typically takes several weeks to allow for proper marketing and buyer inspection before the sale closes.
If a reserve price isn't met, we'll discuss next steps together — relisting at an adjusted reserve or returning the equipment to you.
No. Equipment typically stays at your location until it's sold. We coordinate buyer inspections and schedule pickup with the winning bidder once the sale closes.
Nothing upfront. We're paid through a commission on the final sale price, so we're only compensated once your equipment actually sells.
Free walkthrough and appraisal — no cost or obligation to consign.
