How do online auctions work?

Online auctions sell business assets to the highest bidder. Equipment is evaluated, marketed to qualified buyers, and sold through competitive bidding online according to the published auction terms.

Can businesses sell equipment through auction?

Yes. Businesses can sell surplus equipment, machinery, vehicles, and other assets through auction. Auctions help convert assets into capital by exposing them to a large pool of potential buyers.

Is this auction online-only?

Yes. Our commercial auctions allow buyers to register and bid online from anywhere. However, we do provide a date and time to come preview all auction lots before the auction close date.
