Introduction
When it comes to liquidating surplus equipment, timing matters. With the right approach, you can sell quickly without sacrificing value. Here’s how Equipment Recycle’s auction services follow a structured timeline to make it happen.
Why a Timeline Matters
Without a clear process, selling surplus equipment can drag on—it can eat up resources, occupy space, and stall your operations. Equipment Recycle addresses this with a streamlined 60-day auction services timeline.
What Happens During Those 60 Days
Equipment Review & Cataloging: Days 1–15
- Equipment Recycle’s team visits your facility (or you ship to our warehouse) to assess condition and prepare inventory.
- We catalog each item with photos and descriptions that highlight value.
Marketing & Auction Launch: Days 15–45
- High-quality images and detailed listings go live on online platforms.
- About a 30-day marketing period allows potential buyers to engage, view items, ask questions, and plan bidding.
- We hold an auction preview (on-site or at Equipment Recycle’s warehouse) so buyers can inspect in person.
Payment & Removal: Days 45–60
- The auction event concludes; Equipment Recycle collects payments from buyers.
- We contact the buyers to remove the equipment and ensure they clear the site.
- Finally, you receive a full report of results and the settlement.
The Advantages of the Timeline
- Predictability: You know when things will wrap up.
- Efficiency: You free up space, recoup value, and keep moving forward.
- Visibility: The around-30-day marketing period gives your equipment broad exposure via auction services, increasing chances of competitive bidding.
- Simplified logistics: Equipment Recycle handles much of the heavy lifting—cataloging, listing, payment collection, removal—so you can stay focused on your core business.
The structured approach of Equipment Recycle’s auction services ensures you get it done right—quickly, smoothly, and with results. Please refer to our for Equipment Auction Services page for additional information.
