Two Convenient Ways to Sell Your Equipment

Sell Directly From Your Location

Keep your equipment at your farm, construction yard, trucking terminal or business. Our team coordinates the inspection, photography and cataloging, then handles buyer inquiries, bidding and payment collection.

After the sale, we help coordinate pickup with the buyer.

Deliver to Our Springfield Auction Yard

Prefer to have it off your property? Deliver it to our yard in Springfield, Nebraska, south of Omaha. Our team handles the auction and coordinates on-site buyer pickup after the sale.

Ideal for clearing out equipment, freeing up yard space, or avoiding pickups at your property.

Local Service. Nationwide Buyer Exposure.
