Sell your plant and machinery

Selling it yourself

Every machine means an advert, calls from buyers, haggling and a day for loading.

Selling to a dealer

A dealer will take everything at once, at a price that leaves room for their profit.

Selling at auction

Trade buyers bid against each other for each lot. We do the work around the sale, from the valuation to the last collection.

1. 1

   Valuation

   We visit and look at everything you want to sell. Then we tell you, in writing, what it should make at auction and what our costs will be. You decide whether to go ahead.
2. 2

   Cataloguing

   We photograph and describe every lot, faults included. Buyers bid with more confidence when they can trust the catalogue.
3. 3

   The auction

   We advertise the sale to trade buyers across the UK and beyond, and run it as a timed online auction or on your site. Buyers bring their questions to us, so your phone stays quiet.
4. 4

   Payment and collection

   Buyers pay us before anything leaves your site, and we manage collection and loading. Once the lots are paid for and collected, we pay you the proceeds, less our commission.

We sell single machines as well as complete sites.

Straight answers
