Choose the route around the inventory.
An auction exposes equipment to bidding rather than setting a direct purchase price at the outset. The suitability depends on the models, condition, quantity, preparation work and time available. We can discuss an auction alongside a direct buyout; neither is assumed to produce a better outcome before the assets are reviewed.
A seller commission applies.
We charge a commission for auction projects. The rate and calculation basis are agreed individually. Photography, cataloguing, marketing, platform charges, handling, transport and other expenses must also be identified in the proposed terms. There is no universal fee or minimum represented on this website.
Platform and lot structure are selected for the project.
We work through different auction platforms. Agree where the sale will be held, who operates it, how equipment is grouped, the descriptions and condition statements, and any reserve or starting-price approach. Specific platforms and events are only named once arrangements are confirmed.
Agree inspection, payment and release.
Set out seller access, buyer inspection, payment and release conditions before the sale. Our team can discuss disassembly, packing and transportation, but the exact scope and allocation of responsibilities need agreement. Do not assume that every buyer collection includes packing or freight.
Plan for unsold and uncollected equipment.
Agree the next step for reserve-not-met lots, cancelled purchases and equipment left on site. Relisting, another sale route or recycling can be discussed, but they are not included automatically. Include any deadlines, extra work, storage or removal costs in the agreed project terms.
Know what the proposal does and does not establish.
Auction proceeds, sale timing, bids and sale-through are not guaranteed. Compare expected costs and responsibilities using the auction seller checklist. If a defined purchase price is your priority, start with a direct equipment review and compare both routes with the same inventory.
