Honest Market Advice
We'll Tell You What It's Really Worth
A seller wanted $68,000 for his truck. We told him $48,000. He didn't believe us. Three months later, still no offers at $68k. He called back, dropped the price to $48k, and sold it the same day for $50,000.
No-Risk Reserve Option
You Set the Floor. We Find the Ceiling.
Your equipment won't sell below your minimum price. Period. Try the market risk-free with reserve protection. If bidding doesn't meet your number, you're not obligated to sell.
Perfect when: You need to sell but can't afford to take a loss. You want to test the market without committing. You'd rather wait than accept too little.

FAQs
Everything you wanted to ask
What if I need money fast?
We can list your equipment same-day. If you get us photos and details today, it's live tomorrow. No-reserve auctions close weekly, so you can have money in hand within 2 weeks if needed.
Do I have to bring equipment to your yard?
No. 95% of equipment stays at the seller's location. We come to you for photos and inspection. The buyer coordinates pickup directly with you after purchase.
What if my equipment doesn't sell?
Depends on auction type:
Reserve auctions: If bidding doesn't meet your reserve, you're not obligated to sell. No listing fees. We'll discuss what happened and recommend next steps.
No-reserve auctions: It sells to the highest bidder, guaranteed. That's the trade-off for speed and certainty.
We'll help you choose the right format based on your situation.
What if I sell it elsewhere?
We're genuinely happy for you. "Hell yeah, awesome. Call us on the next one."
We don't charge listing fees if you sell your equipment elsewhere or change your mind. We're building long-term relationships, not penalizing people for taking care of their own interests.
How do you determine pricing?
We research recent comparable sales, check current market conditions, and factor in your equipment's condition, hours/miles, and location.
Then we tell you the truth. Not what you want to hear—what the market will actually pay. You can set your reserve higher if you want, but we'll be honest about likelihood of sale.
What are your fees?
We charge [listing fee structure] + [commission percentage].
But here's what matters: If you sell your equipment elsewhere, we don't charge you. If it doesn't meet reserve and you choose not to sell, we don't charge you.
We only get paid when you get paid. Our interests are aligned with yours.
Can buyers inspect my equipment?
Yes, and we encourage it. Buyers can coordinate inspection appointments with us. We'll connect them with you to schedule a time.
More inspection = more buyer confidence = better bids. We want buyers to feel good about their purchase.
What about shipping/hauling?
Buyer arranges and pays for shipping. We'll connect them with our transport partners if they need help.
You just need to: Make equipment available for pickup at agreed-upon time.
How long does the process take?
Depends on your timeline and selling method:
Same-day listing: Photos today → Listed tomorrow
Weekly no-reserve: Closes within 7 days
Bi-weekly reserve: Next event within 2 weeks
Payment: [X days] after sale, pending pickup verification
Your urgency determines our approach. Need money in 2 weeks? We'll make it happen.
