If you’re thinking about closing or downsizing your machine shop, you’re likely wondering how to get the most value out of your equipment. Selling everything yourself can be time-consuming and stressful, especially when you’re dealing with large industrial machines. That’s where Backes Auctioneers comes in. With decades of experience in industrial and machine shop auctions, we make the process smooth, efficient, and profitable.

Here are five key benefits of liquidating your machine shop assets with Backes Auctioneers.

1. Maximize Your Returns

Selling your used CNC machines, lathes, milling machines, and other equipment through an auction ensures competitive bidding. Instead of settling for lowball offers from private buyers, you’ll have multiple interested parties driving up the final price. Backes Auctioneers has a large network of serious buyers looking for high-quality machine shop equipment, meaning you get top dollar for your assets.

2. Fast and Hassle-Free Process

Listing each machine individually, negotiating with buyers, and arranging transportation can be overwhelming. When you work with us, we handle the entire auction process from start to finish. We take care of marketing, organizing the sale, and managing the transactions so you can focus on your next steps. Whether you need a full liquidation or just want to sell select pieces of machinery, we make it easy.

3. Reach the Right Buyers

Finding buyers for specialized industrial equipment isn’t as simple as posting an online ad. Backes Auctioneers has an extensive database of buyers in manufacturing, machining, and construction industries who are actively looking for machine shop assets. Our targeted marketing strategies ensure your equipment is seen by the right people, leading to quicker sales and better prices.

4. On-Site or Online Auctions for Convenience

We offer both on-site and online auction options, depending on your needs. If you prefer an in-person auction at your machine shop location, we can set it up. If an online auction is more convenient, we have a trusted platform that allows buyers from across the country to bid on your equipment in real time. Either way, you get a streamlined selling experience with maximum exposure.

5. Expert Valuation and Transparent Selling

Not sure what your machines are worth? Our auction professionals provide expert valuations to ensure you get fair market value for your assets.
