When a Buy Isn't the Fit, We Manage It.
Buying the whole lot outright is usually the fastest way out. When it isn't the right fit, we can consign it, auction it, destroy it on record or take your surplus on a set schedule.
Three ways to sell, one call.
| Selling outright (Direct Buys) | Consignment | Auction Services | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seller's work | Send a list, palletize it and load the truck | Send a list, palletize it and load the truck | Send a list, palletize it and load the truck. You cover the freight to our El Paso warehouse. |
| Who carries unsold risk | DIR | The seller, with three exits: we make an offer, recycle or return | The seller, with three exits: we make an offer, recycle or return |
| When the seller is paid | Once, up front | As each item sells | After the sale closes |
| Best for | Large mixed lots, slow movers, deadlines | High-value items with a clear market | Well-known equipment with a broad pool of buyers |
Send us the list and we'll tell you which way fits, including when part of the lot would do better at auction. We can also mix them: buy the slow movers, consign a few pieces and auction the marquee equipment, all in the same lot.
Four ways we manage it for you.

- We inventory and market it.Every piece is counted, described and offered to buyers.
- We ship every order.We pack and ship to each buyer, so you never handle one.

Ask about an auction →- Send us your list.A rough list or a few photos is enough. We'll tell you if auction is the right fit, or if part of the lot would do better sold outright.

Good fit: well-known, well-documented equipment with a broad pool of buyers, when you can wait for the sale.
Straight talk: an auction can bring more on the right items, but you wait for the sale to close, and some items may not sell. If you'd rather have one number now, we can buy the whole lot instead. Or mix the two.
Destroyed, on Record.

- We destroy it.Every piece is rendered inoperable, documented start to finish.
- You get the documentation.Your certificate, plus whatever proof you asked for, with recovery reported per asset.
- We recycle what's left.The remains are recycled or disposed of properly.
Your Surplus, on a Schedule.
One partner for your facility's surplus and scrap stream, so it leaves on a steady schedule instead of piling up.
- Tell us your needs.What your facility generates, how much and how often.
- We design a program for you.The rules, the schedule and the reporting, built around your facility.
- We sign an agreement.We agree on the terms, usually for a year.

Here are the ones we hear most.
Do you buy outright or offer consignment?
Both. We can buy the full lot outright, or manage it for you through consignment, an auction or an ongoing disposition program for your facility's surplus.
How does consignment work?
You send the material to our El Paso warehouse, and we inventory it, market it and ship every order. You get paid as each item sells, with a sales report every 30 days. There is no up-front cost.
What is a certificate of destruction?
A signed record that your material was destroyed and can't be resold or reused. If you need more, we can add photos, video or other evidence, or you can be there for the destruction.
Should I auction or sell outright?
Auction suits well-known, well-documented equipment with a broad pool of buyers when you can wait. For large mixed lots, slow movers or a deadline, selling outright is usually the better fit. Send us your list and we'll tell you which, or suggest a mix.
Can I auction part of a lot and sell the rest?
Yes. We can buy most of the lot outright and auction the pieces that deserve it.
Do I have to do anything once it ships?
No. We receive the material, prepare the listings, run the sale and ship every order to the buyers.
What happens to items that don't sell?
You choose: we can make you an offer on them, recycle them, or send them back.
Who can use Auction Services?
Sellers in the US. Send a rough list or a few photos to start.
Who pays the freight on an auction?
You do. Ship it to our El Paso warehouse, and we can help arrange the freight.
When do I get paid from an auction?
After the auction closes.
Can I set a reserve price?
It depends on the lot. We'll talk through reserves with you before the sale.
