The Auction Process

Preparing the Auction Site

About 4 to 6 weeks before the auction, we begin preparing your site. It’s behind-the-scenes work that plays an important role in maximizing the value of your assets. We sort assets, grouping similar items into lots; move machinery, equipment, and accessories into a logical auction order; clean the machinery and the facility; and tag and catalog each item for auction.

All of this is handled by an experienced set-up crew of full-time professionals, many of whom have been with our company for years. We do not use temporary help to prepare your items for auction. Our crew works with your staff to ensure compliance with company policies and safety standards.

This same crew is responsible for the public inspection of assets one day prior to the auction. The inspection allows potential buyers to see the machines operate (by your staff or with your permission only) and examine any equipment they plan to bid on.
