Three Ways to Buy 

  • BUY NOW – Need equipment now? With a wide selection of equipment, buyers can buy what they need immediately at competitive fixed prices.

  • MAKE AN OFFER – Submit your best offer for an item and the seller can accept it, decline it, or make a counter offer.

  • BID – Auctions are closing throughout the week. Here are the two types of auctions:

    • Online Auctions:
      Our Featured Events usually take place on the last Wednesday of each month. These events act like a traditional live unreserved auction where the auction opens for a period of time according to a preset schedule. If you can’t make it on a Wednesday, all the auctions are live for a two-week period leading up to the event – the Preview Period. During the Preview Period you can set your PriorityBid. A PriorityBid acts like the max bid above and allows you to set your bid ahead of time. Try it yourself in our Practice Auction.
    • Sealed Auctions:
      Unreserved sealed bid- specified bid amounts are not published, but ranked. Bidders can place multiple bids until the close of the auction. Sealed offer- buyers place a sealed offer on their desired unit of purchase. Sellers then have up to 5 days after the item closes to select the winning offer.
