1. How much does an equipment broker cost?
Our Commission Options
We keep it simple and straightforward with two options that protect your bottom line and reward our performance.
1. Standard Consignment – Straight % Model
For most customers, this is the easiest and cleanest option.
-
We agree on a realistic market price for your equipment.
-
When it sells, our commission starts at 10% of the final selling price with a $500 minimum fee per unit for equipment under $5000.
-
If it doesn’t sell, you don’t owe us a commission.
Our commission mirrors what you’ll see with dealers and auction companies across the industry, but with full transparency and no surprise fees.
Commission Breakdown
| Final Sale Price | Our Commission |
|---|---|
| Under $5,000 | $500 flat |
| $5,001 – $25,000 | 10% |
| $25,001 – $75,000 | 8% |
| $75,001 – $150,000 | 6% |
| $150,001 – $300,000 | 5% (minimum $7,500) |
| $300,001 – $1,000,000 | 3% |
| $1,000,001 – $2,000,000 | 2% |
| $2,000,001 – $5,000,000 | 1.5% |
| Over $5,000,000 | 1% |
2. Guaranteed Net + Shared Upside Model
If you have a number you absolutely need to hit, this option is for you. “need to payoff the loan and put money in your pocket’
-
You tell us the minimum check you want to clear.
-
We handle pricing, marketing, calls, negotiations, and paperwork.
-
If we sell your machine for more than your guaranteed net,
we split the extra 50/50.
Example:
You say you need $100,000 net.
We sell it for $115,000.
-
You get your $100,000 guaranteed,
-
The extra $15,000 is split 50/50 → $7,500 to you, $7,500 to us.
You’re protected on the downside, and we’re highly motivated to push for the highest possible number.
Bottom line:
Both options are simple, written in plain English, and built so:
-
You always know what you’ll clear, and
-
We are rewarded for doing an exceptional job marketing and negotiating your equipment.
2. What types of equipment do you broker?
We specialize in brokering construction and industrial equipment, including:
-
Dozers, excavators, wheel loaders, backhoes
- Crushers all makes metal scrap & concrete, electronics
-
Towable and skid compressors, generators, and light towers
-
Concrete mixers, dump trucks, trailers
- All plant and processing machinery
-
Specialized attachments and accessories
If it works hard, we can likely help you sell it.
3. How long does it take to sell my equipment?
Most listings get solid buyer interest within 7–21 days, but this depends on market demand, equipment condition, and pricing. We actively promote your equipment across multiple platforms, we have a motavated private buyer lists — ensuring maximum visibility and quicker deals.
4. Do you handle everything or do I need to be involved in the sale?
We take care of everything — photos, listings, negotiations, paperwork, and closing. You simply provide details and access to the machine. We’ll keep you updated during the process but you won’t have to worry about fielding lowball offers or wasting time with tire-kickers thats why you partnered with us. You will need to be availble to answer schedual phone calls between your broker and ready to buy buyers. So that you can answer particular question about your unit that only you can better speak to.
5. How long is the typical equipment brokerage contract?
Most of our brokerage agreements are for 90 days, but we’re flexible. Some clients prefer a shorter 30-day term, while others want a 6-month agreement for harder-to-sell or specialty equipment. We’ll work with you to set a contract length that makes the most sense for your equipment and timeline. You can also renew or cancel after the initial term if needed. And remember there is no cost to you we only get paid once we sell your equipment.
6. What if my equipment needs repairs or isn’t running?
No problem. We broker running and non-running equipment, and we’ll be honest with you about how that affects price. In some cases, we may recommend low-cost repairs to boost your value — or sell it as-is to buyers looking for a project.
7. Do you offer tiered commission rates for high-value deals 300k +?
What if my equipment is worth more than $300,000?
For large and high-value machines, we use a reduced commission rate. The higher the sale price, the lower the percentage you pay — which keeps things fair and competitive while still giving you top-tier service.
Here’s how our high-tier pricing works:
-
$300,001–$1,000,000 → 3% commission
Example: A $600,000 machine would have an $18,000 commission. -
$1,000,001–$2,000,000 → 2% commission
Example: A $1.5M unit would have a $30,000 commission. -
$2,000,001–$5,000,000 → 1.5% commission
Example: A $3M package would have a $45,000 commission. -
$5,000,000+ → 1% commission
Example: A $7M sale would have a $70,000 commission.
8. Do you offer pickup, storage, or transport help?
Yes — we can assist with pickup, delivery, and transport logistics through trusted partners. we have an equipment yard, many times buyers come to view and inspect equipment then find great deals on other equipment in the yard. we also have a very high-visibility area for select pieces of equipment. We make the process hassle-free so you don’t have to worry about the heavy lifting.
