Machinery Auction Portal Reveals Revamp

Innovative used plant and equipment auction portal Mrmachinery.com is changing its bidding process to give sellers greater control and encourage even more great items for buyers to choose from.

The online auctioneer is switching to a reserved, rather than unreserved, mode of auctioneering, where sellers can set a base price below which the item may not be sold. Buyers participating in Mr Machinery's auctions will now be informed if their bid is below the reserved price, and offered the chance to submit a higher bid.

The revamp is just one of a number of exciting recent developments at Mr Machinery, which is soon to celebrate its fourth year in business. The company has recruited two new members of staff at its Shropshire headquarters, is set to open new offices in Germany and France later this year, and has also launched Mr Machinery Motors, an additional auction dedicated to selling used cars, vans, trucks and lorries.

"Moving to reserved auctions gives the seller a much greater say in the entire process," explained Mark Bacon, CEO for Mr Machinery. "It enables them to set a minimum price, reduces the possibility of disputes over final sales prices and leads to more definite results - either a bid meets the reserved price and the item is sold, or the buyer is given the opportunity to up their bid."

"It's great news for buyers too, and will encourage an even wider range of high quality used equipment on offer to our customers," he added.

With extensive experience within the heavy equipment and logistics industries, the Mr Machinery team provides both buyers and sellers a professional, personal and reliable service, ensuring every customer's machinery and logistics needs are more than met.
