Industrial Auctions FAQs 

1. What types of equipment are sold at industrial auctions? 
Everything from heavy industrial machinery and production lines to forklifts, CNC machines, laboratory instruments and surplus stock from liquidations. 

2. Are industrial auctions only for large businesses? 
No — buyers range from multinational manufacturers to small businesses and individuals looking for cost-effective equipment. 

3. Do I need to attend the auction to place a bid?  
Most sales allow online bidding, so you can browse catalogues, place bids and track results in real time without attending in person. 

4. Can I inspect equipment before bidding? 
Yes - most auctioneers provide the opportunity to inspect items before bidding, either in person at designated viewing days or via detailed online catalogues and virtual tours. Always refer to the auction listing for full viewing arrangements. 

5. Are items at industrial auctions guaranteed? 
Lots are generally sold “as seen,” but professional industrial auctioneers provide accurate descriptions, images and condition reports. 

6. How do I know if I’m getting good value? 
Research current market prices for comparable industrial manufacturing equipment and set a budget before bidding. 

7. Do industrial auctions sell new equipment as well as used? 
Yes - while many lots are used, some auctions include surplus new stock, cancelled orders or unused items from liquidations. 

8. What happens if I win an item at auction? 
You’ll receive an invoice from the auctioneer, and once payment is made, arrangements can be made to collect or ship the equipment. 

9. Are there additional fees to consider when buying? 
Yes, buyer’s premiums, VAT and sometimes handling or transport fees apply. These are clearly outlined in each auction’s terms and conditions so do check them thoroughly before placing a bid.
