How To Sell

Need to sell equipment?  Farmers Auctions and Equipment can help you!  Our company is in the business of selling used and new farm machinery and heavy equipment.  We offer a variety of ways that we can work with sellers to harvest the top dollar for the equipment that they need to move, and we can move it fast!  Many of our customers have been shocked at the values of equipment that they are no longer using or just have laying around.  We can help turn those pieces in to cash for you that can be used to further grow your business!  We have many ways to do this, and here are a few. 

First, you can list your equipment with Farmers Auctions and Equipment!  With a listing, one of our staff will travel to your location and look at your equipment with you.  We will discuss together the condition and market value of what you have to sell, and we use our experience as a Certified Equipment Appraisal Service to determine values and current market prices for each piece of equipment.  Next, while we are at your location, we will document your equipment thoroughly with many high quality photographs.  Our staff is trained to take the right photos at the right angles that in turn best represent the equipment you have to sell in the right way!  We have sometimes been accused of going a little overboard with the quantity of pictures that we take, but many of our buyers are remote.  In other words, if your tractor is in Mississippi but the buyer is in Montana, the buyer often can’t physically make the drive to “kick the tires”.  We take enough photos that our buyers feel like they have actually walked around your equipment, and those pictures are a key part of our listing.  We also write an extensive, professional description of your equipment that honestly and accurately reflects the condition and attributes of the items that you have to sell.  The best part of a listing is that nothing we have discussed so far cost you a single penny!  All of that is provided as a service to our customers, and we don’t charge you a thing to list your equipment!  We only get paid when your equipment sells, and even then a small commission is withheld from the proceeds of the sale and you never have to write a check.  Our commission rates are some of the cheapest in the business, ranging from 0% to 15%, depending on the piece, and you have the flexibility to choose the rate that you pay!  Once your equipment is listed, we take care of all of the details.  We post the listing in many different places and use global advertising methods consisting of all the major ad outlets, our website, social media, our network of other dealers, and more.  Your equipment can be seen around the world when listed with us!  We field all the inquiry calls and we negotiate on your behalf, and you are always in total control of the sale.  In addition, we can offer potential buyers financing and shipping options that the buyer pays for, and these help your equipment sell!  Listing your equipment with Farmers Auctions and Equipment Company is a no risk option to you to move your equipment, and you are always in control! 

Another option that Farmers Auctions and Equipment Company offers you is to advertise and sell your equipment in an online auction.  We subscribe to and utilize Auction Time to sell in this manner, and they hold a sale almost every week of the year.  Our customers who have a need for a quick sale sometimes choose this method.  Auction Time is an absolute auction and the equipment will sell to the highest bidder and recently the values have been outstanding with many of the lots offered to the Auction Time sales.  In an Auction Time sale, our staff will travel to your equipment, take pictures, and write descriptions much like a regular listing, but the equipment will be consigned to an upcoming sale date and typically we can move from the initial phone call to a check in your hand in a matter of 2 to 3 weeks.  For customers that need to move equipment fast, an online absolute auction is sometimes the way to go. 

Yet another way that Farmers Auctions and Equipment can help you is to conduct a live sale at your location.  We are licensed auctioneers and we have the capability to conduct a live sell out at your location or help you in consigning even a single lot to a local live auction.   In some situations, local live auctions are an extremely effective method by which to liquidate equipment and we are fully skilled and capable of making that happen for you if your situation warrants a live sale.  With a live sale, your equipment will be catalogued and the sale will be extensively advertised.  We take care of all of the details!  Most all of our live sales also include live simulcast feeds via the internet to attract an even larger buying audience for your equipment. 

As you can see, every situation is different and we tailor our selling program to fit your needs.  Because we are farmers ourselves, we look at moving your equipment through the farmer’s eyes, and not the perspective of an auction company.  Because of this, every situation is unique, and we have the flexibility to customize the approach, we sell your equipment for the highest possible price, putting more revenue in your pocket!  Call Farmers Auction and Equipment Company today to discuss the combination of options that best suits your equipment, and let us help you turn your equipment into cash today!!
