Timed online auctions give you the flexibility to bid from anywhere with an internet connection. Lots close at scheduled times, and our soft-close feature ensures fair bidding by extending time when last-minute bids come in. This format works well for buyers who want time to evaluate equipment and sellers who want broad market exposure.
Every lot includes detailed specifications, photographs, and seller disclosures. We encourage questions before you bid and can arrange inspections for equipment of particular interest.
