Machinery and Equipment Auction Software: Your Own Auction Site
Easy.Auction, continued as Auctify
4,000+ customers across Easy.Auction and Auctify
A machinery and equipment auction site on Easy.Auction is a hosted auction website where dealers and liquidators sell used machines, tools and plant on their own domain. Large inventories can be loaded by CSV import, up to 100 listings per import, and custom attributes per category record details such as operating hours or year of manufacture. Multi-seller mode lets other companies list their own equipment, while you charge them a commission percentage or listing fees. Unsold lots can be relisted automatically. Easy.Auction is continued as Auctify, which offers new customers a heavy equipment and machinery starter site and a 7-day free trial. Easy.Auction packages cost 99 to 299 USD a month and are no longer sold; its successor Auctify has plans from $49 a month, with zero commission.
Frequently asked questions
Can I run a liquidation sale with a large number of machine lots?
Yes. Easy.Auction imports listings by CSV, up to 100 per import, so a larger liquidation is loaded in several batches. Timed auctions run between the start and end dates and times you choose, and categories, subcategories and the built-in search help bidders find specific machines in a large catalogue.
Can I require a credit card check before someone bids on expensive equipment?
Yes. Easy.Auction offers optional upfront credit-card verification of bidders, so you can switch on a card check for people bidding on your machines. You can also enable automatic card payment by winners, which charges the winning bidder's card for the machine, and new users can be verified by email and by SMS.
Can Easy.Auction run reverse auctions for buying equipment from suppliers?
It did on higher packages. Reverse auctions for procurement were offered on Easy.Auction's Business and Enterprise packages. Auctify, the successor, runs reverse auctions for procurement in a different form: the price starts too low for any supplier and rises until the first supplier accepts it, instead of suppliers underbidding each other.
