How it works
IronPlanet is the world’s leading online auction company for buying and selling used construction and agricultural equipment. Unlike other auction companies, our equipment is Inspected & Guaranteed. Our convenient, reliable, and easy-to-use auction approach minimizes hassles and maximizes both buyer and seller satisfaction.
A seller consigns equipment to an IronPlanet auction for lower commission and cost. The seller then preps the equipment (if they choose) at own location, and makes the equipment available for inspection.
 IronPlanet sends an inspector to their yard, and thoroughly inspects the equipment at the seller’s location. IronPlanet publishes the inspection report on IronPlanet.com and markets the equipment to targeted prospective buyers around the world.
Buyers review the inspection reports online and can place PriorityBids before auction day. IronPlanet’s ringmen solicit bids from interested bidders during the weeks leading to auction day and on the day of the auction. The buyer places bids online, and on auction day, the highest bidder wins the auction.
 After the auction, IronPlanet connects buyers with transportation and finance companies. The buyer pays into a secure account. IronPlanet confirms payment, and the seller releases the equipment to the buyer’s transportation company. The buyer accepts delivery of the equipment while the seller receives payment.
