UX Search links to these auction sites and is not affiliated with them. Bidding, payment and pickup happen on each site, under its own rules.
Before you bid
- Count the fees. Buyer’s premiums and documentation fees vary by auction. Check each site’s terms before you bid.
- Check hours and records. Look for hour-meter readings, service records and photos of wear points such as pins, bushings, tracks and tires.
- See it run if you can. Many equipment sales have inspection days. If you can’t go, hire an inspector.
- Plan the haul. Heavy equipment may need a permit load and a lowboy. Get a shipping quote before you bid.
