Have you thought about consignment before auctioning your equipment?
Thinking of selling? Consignment could be a great option. You can sell your used equipment at the price you want, without the hassle of marketing it. By consigning your equipment to Toromont Cat, you control the selling price, while taking advantage of our extensive dealer network and representatives across the country. Toromont will market your equipment, which you can choose to keep in your possession or bring to one of the branches until it’s sold.
Consignment vs. auctioning: what's the difference?
When you’re busy closing contracts, auctioning your equipment may seem like a quick and easy way to sell your equipment and not have to deal with scrapping it. However, selling at auction means
- Make your price very competitive
- Pay a participation fee.
As a result, the yield can often be disappointing. Moreover, everything happens very quickly, making it impossible to negotiate. Conversely, consignment offers many benefits and will give you peace of mind because:
- You can set your price and get a free inspection.
- Toromont Cat will leverage all its resources to sell your equipment.
- You control of the price, and if the sale doesn’t suit you, Toromont Cat will continue the process for you.
- You can concentrate on your business without wasting time and energy trying to sell your equipment.
Taking your time is often more profitable
In business, a spur of the moment decision is rarely the right choice. And the construction business often – especially in recent months – demands shorter delivery times and a reduced workforce. So, more than ever, time is money. But it takes time to market used equipment if you want a good return on your investment. To free you from this task and help you get the most out of the sale of your equipment, consignment is a very attractive option.
