Many large companies have a piece of surplus equipment, and many look to auction houses to get the equipment off their hands.  However, when buying heavy equipment at an auction- there are things you should take into consideration.

In the Texas Panhandle, there are many items that are very popular. In this area, there is lots of farming that occurs. So, when farm equipment is up for auction, it tends to sell QUICK! Besides farm equipment, there are many other items that we tend to sell quite frequently. Below we will list the items that we sell often and why they may be popular. 

Auctioneers get excited when more than one person wants to bid on an item. They know the more people they can bring into the auction will be good for them and fun for all involved. But what if you see something you want to buy before an auction? For most auctioneers, the answer is no. This is because auction houses print catalogs, do advertising in newspapers, print flyers, and do a lot with online pictures for active bidding.  In addition, auction houses have a contact list they send out with all the items that are for sale.  Can you imagine if you were one of the people on the contact list and when you got to the auction, what you wanted to bid on was not there?  Not only would you be angry, but you might even start to question the auctioneer’s ethical behavior.
