KD Auctions runs fully online timed auctions through BidSpotter, reaching 500,000+ industry contacts. Equipment is cataloged, photographed, and listed with detailed specs. Buyers register, inspect during the preview period, and bid online, no in-person attendance required.
What CNC machines sell best at auction?
Haas, Mazak, Okuma, Mori Seiki, and Fanuc-controlled machines consistently command the strongest prices. Newer machines with low hours and complete documentation attract the most competitive bidding.
Can I sell a single CNC machine through KD Auctions?
Yes, KD Auctions offers consignment for individual machines. Your machine is added to an upcoming sector-relevant auction, professionally cataloged, and marketed to our full buyer network. Commission is paid only if and when your machine sells.
How long does a CNC machine auction take?
A typical CNC machine auction runs 2–4 weeks from engagement to auction close, plus 7–14 days for buyer removal. Full plant closures with multiple CNCs typically take 4–8 weeks from engagement through final settlement.
Who appraises CNC machines before auction?
KD Auctions provides USPAP-compliant equipment appraisals through AMEA-certified appraisers. Lenders, courts, and bankruptcy trustees rely on our OLV (Orderly Liquidation Value) and FLV (Forced Liquidation Value) appraisals.
