Machinery Expert Shares Top Auction Tips

Innovative used plant and equipment auction website Mr Machinery is set to share some of its buying and selling secrets after launching a series of free top tips guides.

Available to download in user-friendly PDF format from www.mrmachinery.com, the first guide focuses on how to successfully place a winning bid and includes a whole host of top tips, such as carrying out thorough research ahead of the auction and being an ‘early bird’ by bidding upfront.

In addition, Mr Machinery has also published a second guide specifically aimed at sellers, which outlines the steps they should take to make sure they get the best price for their surplus equipment.

Mark Bacon, CEO for Mr Machinery, revealed: "In the nearly four years since the business started, we’ve given plenty of clients advice and guidance to help them increase their auction success. We feel now is the perfect time to share this expertise with a wider audience through these easy-to-understand top tips guides, and we've received overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers who have already downloaded them."
