Standard Auction:

  • No third-party verification
  • Faster to list
  • Lower fees
Important

If you item is installed and required removal, some items such as a site survey will be required so that our provider can provide and cost for deinstallation of an item.


Verified Auction:

  • Includes professional inspection
  • Third-party verification report
  • Increases buyer confidence
  • Additional verification fee applies

If your equipment is eligible for verification, you'll see "Verified Auction Services" options appear in the form.
