Quick Equipment Liquidation: Sell Small Lots of Industrial Machinery Fast
Not every liquidation needs a full production team. If you have a shop, a department, or a season's worth of surplus, we can run your auction for less than you'd spend on a trade show booth, and have it sold by Thursday.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can KD sell my industrial equipment?
Quick liquidation auctions typically close within 1–3 weeks from submission. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday auction slots are available, and your equipment can be live in front of buyers within a week of setup.
What types of industrial equipment qualify for quick liquidation?
Quick liquidation is suitable for CNC machining centers, turning centers, injection molding machines, fabrication equipment, forklifts, food processing lines, and most other industrial machinery. It is best for small lots, single departments, or surplus equipment, not full plant closures.
What are the fees for quick equipment liquidation?
Depending on sale size, a flat setup fee of $500–$1,000 may apply. For larger sales it is typically absorbed into the sale proceeds. The fee covers Bidspotter listing, marketing to 500,000+ contacts, catalog management, invoicing, and buyer support. There is no ongoing commission on unsold items.
What is my responsibility as the seller in a quick liquidation?
Sellers are responsible for staging equipment for photography and being on-site during buyer pickup. KD handles everything else: listing, marketing, buyer registration, invoicing, and payment collection.
Is quick liquidation the right choice for a full plant closure?
No, quick liquidation is designed for small lots, single machines, or surplus equipment. For complete plant closures, multi-asset class liquidations, or lender-appointed engagements, KD offers full managed auction and turnkey liquidation services.
