Why Consignment Is Better Than Selling Farm Equipment Yourself
Selling farm equipment on your own might seem like a good idea—until you realize how much time, effort, and stress it can take. Whether you’ve got a tractor, hay baler, or an entire fleet of machinery sitting unused, consignment with a trusted auction company like Clines Equipment can make the process a whole lot easier. As a family-owned business in Aurora, MO, with over 30 years of experience, we take the hassle out of selling so you can get a fair price without the headache. With our upcoming July 5th consignment auction, now’s the perfect time to see why consignment beats selling farm equipment yourself. Here’s why.
1. Reach More Buyers with a Farm Equipment Auction
When you try to sell farm equipment yourself, you’re limited to your local network or online marketplaces where your listing might get buried. A farm equipment auction with Clines Equipment opens the door to buyers worldwide. Here’s how:
Global Exposure: We buy and sell globally, connecting you with buyers across the country and around the world through platforms like Equipmentfacts.com and AuctionZip.
Professional Marketing: We handle the advertising for you, showcasing your equipment with photos, descriptions, and online bidding to attract serious bidders.
Higher Bids: More buyers mean more competition, which can drive up the price of your equipment at auction.
Why spend weeks searching for a buyer when you can consign farm equipment with us and let our auction do the work?
2. Save Time and Reduce Stress
Selling farm equipment on your own can be a full-time job. From taking photos to writing listings, fielding calls, and negotiating with buyers—it’s a lot to juggle, especially during busy farming seasons. Consignment with Clines Equipment saves you time and stress:
We Handle the Details: From listing your equipment to managing the auction, we take care of everything so you don’t have to.
No Haggling: Forget endless back-and-forth with buyers. Our auction process ensures fair market value without the negotiation hassle.
Quick Turnaround: Consign by July 4th for our July 5th auction, and you could have cash in hand shortly after—just in time to clear space for your next project.
At Clines Equipment, we make selling farm equipment as easy as a phone call. Let us do the heavy lifting while you focus on what matters most.
3. Get Expert Support Every Step of the Way
When you sell on your own, you’re on your own. But when you consign farm equipment with Clines Equipment, you get a team of experts with decades of experience. Here’s how we support you:
Valuation Guidance: Not sure what your equipment is worth? We’ll help you understand its market value based on our 30+ years in the industry.
Transport Services: We offer trucking services to get your equipment to the auction site, whether you’re local in Missouri or halfway around the world.
Buyer Screening: Our auction process attracts serious buyers, reducing the risk of scams or no-shows you might face selling independently.
With Clines Equipment, you’ve got a partner you can trust to get the job done right—no guesswork needed.
4. Maximize Your Equipment’s Value
One of the biggest challenges of selling farm equipment yourself is pricing it right. Price too high, and you’ll scare buyers away; price too low, and you’ll lose money. A farm equipment auction with Clines Equipment helps you get the best value:
Competitive Bidding: Our auctions create a competitive environment where buyers bid against each other, often driving prices higher than a direct sale.
Early Consignment Advantage: The sooner you consign (by July 4th!), the more time we have to advertise your equipment, attracting more bidders for the July 5th auction.
No Hidden Fees Surprises: We’re upfront about costs, so you know exactly what to expect when your equipment sells.
Why risk undervaluing your equipment? Let Clines Equipment’s auction process work its magic to get you the best price.
