Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of CNC equipment do you auction?

We auction all types of CNC equipment including machining centers, turning centers, Swiss-type lathes, EDM machines, grinding machines, horizontal boring mills, and supporting tooling and workholding. Our buyer network of 500,000+ registered bidders includes CNC equipment dealers, job shops, and manufacturers nationwide.

How do you value a CNC machine shop for liquidation?

Our AMEA-accredited appraisers provide USPAP-compliant valuations covering orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV) for individual machines and entire facilities. We account for machine age, condition, hours, control type, and current market demand.

How long does a CNC machine shop auction typically take?

A managed online timed auction for a CNC machine shop typically runs 3–6 weeks from engagement to settlement, including cataloging, photography, marketing, bidding period, and removal coordination. We can compress timelines for court-ordered or time-sensitive situations.

Can you sell CNC equipment across multiple locations?

Yes, we regularly run multi-location auctions combining assets from two or more facilities into a single sale event. This consolidates buyer attention and marketing spend while maximizing recovery across all sites.

What is your buyer reach for CNC equipment?

We market CNC equipment to 500,000+ industry contacts via Bidspotter, MachineTools.com, targeted email campaigns, LinkedIn, and Google PPC. CNC machine tools consistently attract competitive bidding across our platform.
