How to Sell Your Plant & Machinery at Auction

A Simple, Transparent Process for Sellers

Step 1: Submit Your Equipment Entry Form

You can submit your equipment online or complete a paper entry form at our site office. To get started, please ensure you have your contact information, VAT number (if applicable), and bank details for post-sale payment. We also require a copy of your photographic ID. We welcome entries from both private individuals and trade sellers.

Step 2: Delivery & On-Site Logistics

Once the yard is back open for deliveries after the previous sale, usually a fortnight after, you can bring your items to site anytime Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 4.30pm. The earlier you bring your items the better as this gives us maximum time to advertise your equipment.  Entries close usually around a week before the auction; you can call us for the dates but it will be announced via social media and on the website.  If you cannot transport your items yourself, we have a list of hauliers we work with to choose from, see: Transport Hauliers and Shippers

Once your items arrive onsite, the driver will need to visit reception to receive a unique ‘vendor code’ which we can attach to your items which will link your items to your account on our system.  Once this is done, you will be diverted to the designated unloading area for your item(s) and our staff will help to unload if required.

Step 3: Auction Sale & Rapid Payment Settlement

If your items have a reserve we may need to contact you during the sale if we get a bid close to it but not quite enough to sell there and then.  This is a ‘subject bid’ (sold ‘subject’ to vendors’ approval) and we will call you to ask if you would like to sell the item at the offered price or not; swift answers mean less risk of losing the buyer, so keeping your phone handy on sale day may well pay off!  

If you have equipment to sell we would love to hear from you.
