What is consignment?

Consignment is the process of selling your surplus machinery through Kempler Industries. As the owner of the machinery, you maintain that ownership until the sale is final. When you consign your surplus machinery, the consignor and consignee agree to a split of the profits from the sale of equipment or the consignor works on a mutually agreed upon commission. That means, for a small portion of the consignment sale price, Kempler Industries will take care of everything for you.

Why should I choose consignment over an auction or liquidation?

Consignment is a better choice for you if you’re looking to offload one or just a few items. There are several reasons for choosing consignment over an auction when you’re not selling a lot of equipment.

5 Benefits of consigning your surplus with Kempler

  • There’s no time limit - This enables the seller to hold out for the asking price, whereas, in an auction, you’ll always sell to the highest bidder, even if that price is lower than you expected.
  • You’ll sell at the price you’re asking. Buyers are subject to pricing already set in place.
  • It’s much easier to liquidate a single item on consignment. You don’t have to set up an entire auction just to unload that one piece of machinery you need gone.
  • Your surplus items will be listed on the high-traffic Kempler web site with clear photos and a thorough description.
  • Your consigned machinery will be out in front of Kempler Industries extensive customer base, ensuring a swift sale.
