Sell Your Industrial Equipment: Find the Right Exit Strategy
Four proven paths to maximum recovery. One call tells you which fits your situation.
Four Ways to Sell
Managed Auction
Maximum RecoveryTimeline: 6–10 weeksFull-service auction management reaching 500,000+ industry contacts. KD handles photography, cataloging, marketing, bidding platform, invoicing, and settlement. Competitive bidding typically yields the highest gross recovery.
Best for: Plant closures, bankruptcy estates, lender appointments, large equipment lots
Learn About AuctionsCash Purchase
Guaranteed OutcomeTimeline: Offer in 24–72 hrs · funds in 3–7 daysKD purchases select assets outright: offer within 24–72 hours (subject to inspection), funds typically 3–7 days after acceptance, and removal within 1–2 weeks. Best for situations where speed matters more than maximum recovery. If a direct purchase isn't the right fit, we may recommend a managed sale instead.
Best for: Urgency-driven situations, foreclosure timelines, single-machine owners needing fast liquidity
Request a Cash OfferConsignment
Individual ItemsTimeline: 4–8 weeksAdd your machine to the next relevant multi-seller auction. Your equipment gets full marketing treatment and exposure to our full buyer network, without needing a dedicated event.
Best for: Single machines, small lots, corporate surplus items, shop cleanouts

Fast DisposalTimeline: 1–3 weeksExpedited sale process for smaller lots and individual items where speed is the priority. Streamlined cataloging and compressed marketing window for faster results.
Best for: Smaller lots needing rapid disposal, pre-move equipment, lease-end machinery

Common Questions
How do I know which sale option is right for me?
Call us at 480.455.3910 for a free 15-minute consultation. We'll ask about your timeline, equipment type, quantity, and financial obligations, then recommend the path that maximizes your outcome. No commitment required.
Do you buy equipment outright or only auction it?
Both. We offer direct cash purchase for select equipment and entire facility contents. We also run managed auctions, consignment sales, and quick liquidation programs. The right option depends on your situation.
What types of industrial equipment do you handle?
CNC machining centers, lathes, mills, press brakes, laser cutters, injection molding machines, forklifts, overhead cranes, compressors, generators, food processing equipment, pharmaceutical equipment, printing presses, and virtually any other industrial or commercial equipment with market value.
Is there an upfront cost to sell my equipment?
For managed auctions and consignment, there are no upfront fees: we earn a commission on sold items only. Quick Liquidation sales may carry a small setup fee depending on size, often absorbed into the sale. For cash purchase, we make you an offer and pay after acceptance, typically within 3–7 days. Contact us for specific terms for your situation.
Can you handle equipment in multiple locations?
Yes, we regularly manage multi-site liquidations across different states and facilities. One engagement, one point of contact, consolidated settlement.
