Your Step-by-Step Factory Auction Buyer’s Guide
At Schneider Industries, we believe buying industrial equipment should be a straightforward and rewarding experience. To help you navigate the auction process, we’ve broken it down into clear steps for both pre-auction preparation and auction day participation.
Get Ready Before the Auction
Here’s what you should expect before the auction begins:
- Browse Our Listings: Visit our website to explore upcoming auctions. Each listing includes detailed descriptions, high-quality photos, and specifications to help you evaluate available assets. For additional clarity, you can request condition reports via email.
- Schedule Asset Inspections: We encourage buyers to inspect items in person when possible. Doing so helps you understand the equipment’s condition and whether it suits your needs. Photos may not capture every detail or potential issue, so it's your responsibility as an informed bidder to inspect and understand the item thoroughly beforehand. Contact our team to schedule an inspection appointment at the auction site.
- Complete Your Registration: All buyers must register to participate in an auction. You can register conveniently online at BidSpotter.com or in person on auction day. Registration secures your bidder credentials and gives you access to all auction materials.
Auction Day: How to Succeed
Follow these steps to maximize your auction day experience:
- Check-In and Collect Key Information: When you arrive at an on-site auction, our team will provide an Auction Day Catalog. This essential guide includes the lot numbers, descriptions, terms, and conditions for the event. Online bidders have access to the same information through our digital platform.
- Place Your Bids with Confidence: Participate in the action by following the auctioneer’s cues. On-site bidders use their assigned paddles, while online bidders can submit bids in real time. Schneider Industries’ professional auctioneers ensure a fair and transparent process for every item.
- Confirm Your Purchase: Once the auction concludes, our representatives will assist you with payment processing to complete the transaction smoothly. We always verify items against their descriptions to maintain transparency and satisfaction.
- Plan for Equipment Removal: Buyers are responsible for arranging the removal and transport of their purchases. If you’re unfamiliar with logistics, Schneider Industries can connect you with trusted rigging and transport professionals to help facilitate it efficiently.
