How To Buy!

Buying with BigIron is always straightforward and efficient
“Nothing like being at an auction at 4 a.m. in climate controlled environment.” Tadd Neitzel, St. Francis, Kansas

Buying with BigIron is always straightforward and efficient.

UNRESERVED

Every auction is unreserved, which means every item sells to the highest bidder regardless of price.


Buyers can bid with confidence knowing that each item will sell at the drop of the hammer.

FREE OF LIENS

The BigIron Lien Department conducts a Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) lien search for each BigIron Seller.


If there are liens attached to equipment selling on our auctions, BigIron works with lien holders to ensure that lien payoff requirements can be met and that the ownership of the item, free of liens, can be assigned to the buyer.

AUCTIONS WEEKLY

BigIron has lots of opportunities to buy and sell with auctions taking place every week.


An auction closes every Wednesday, but bidding is open several weeks prior. This provides ample opportunity for customers to research items of interest, contact the seller for questions or even visit to inspect the item themselves.
