What is an Auction?

A Kempler Industries auction is an online sale where potential buyers bid on used commercial equipment. The highest bidder wins the machine they’ve bid on and the profits are divided between the seller and Kempler based on previously agreed upon terms. That means, for a small portion of the consignment sale price, Kempler Industries will take care of everything for you.
