Whether you are a first-time bidder or a seasoned buyer, this page covers everything you need to register, bid, pay, and remove your purchases from a Heath Industrial auction.
Registration is required before you can bid at any Heath Industrial auction. It's free and quick. Here's how:
Bidding at a Heath Industrial auction is straightforward. Here are the basics for each format.
Attend in person and bid by raising your hand or bidder card when the auctioneer calls a lot. The highest bidder when the auctioneer calls "sold" wins the lot. Lots sell quickly — stay focused.
Browse lots at your own pace and submit bids through the online platform. You can set a maximum bid and the system will automatically bid on your behalf up to that amount. Watch for countdown timers — lots extend when late bids come in.
Watch the live auction via webcast and bid in real time using your online account. Online bidders compete directly with floor bidders simultaneously. A strong internet connection is recommended.
Payment is due immediately upon the close of the auction unless otherwise stated in the auction-specific terms.
Payment methods and terms may vary by auction. Always review the specific terms listed on each auction's detail page before bidding.
All items must be removed by the stated removal deadline. Review each auction's specific removal schedule carefully.
No equipment may be removed until payment is made in full and a paid invoice is presented to the removal crew.
Buyers are responsible for all rigging, loading, and transportation. Bring your own dollies, forklifts, straps, and crew. We do not provide rigging services.
Items not removed by the deadline may be subject to storage fees or forfeiture. The removal schedule is printed on every auction listing — read it before you bid.
We can provide referrals to local rigging and transportation companies upon request. Contact our office before auction day for assistance.
