Want to Sell Local? We’ve Got You Covered — And Then Some.

Selling local? Easy.

AEC Equipment & Auctions connects you with serious buyers in your region — and across the country.

Our platform is built for local pickups, fast sales, and zero-hassle logistics.

Here’s how it works:

You list it with us.

We market it nationwide — including your local area.

A buyer wins. They arrange pickup. You get paid.

No hauling, no tire-kickers, no Craigslist drama.

And if you still want boots-on-the-ground local exposure, we’ll geo-target ads in your area to pull in motivated regional buyers ready to move.

So yes — you can sell local.

But with AEC, you also sell smarter, faster, and to a much bigger buyer pool.

Local reach. Nationwide results. That’s how AEC wins for you.

AEC Equipment & Auctions is your fast-track to selling or buying heavy equipment, trucks, and vehicles without the hassle.

Here’s how it works:

You submit your item details — we create a professional listing, market it nationwide using targeted ads, and bring in motivated bidders. Every auction is absolute, meaning your item sells to the highest bidder with no reserve.

We handle the communication, payments, and paperwork. You get full transparency, total support, and payment within 7 days of pickup.

Whether you're liquidating one item or clearing out a fleet, our process is built for speed, trust, and real results.

You list. Buyers bid. You get paid. Simple, powerful, and proven.

Yes — and it's one of our biggest strengths. AEC specializes in selling construction equipment nationwide through high-performing absolute auctions.

Whether you’re selling an excavator, skid steer, loader, dozer, backhoe, or crane — we already have thousands of buyers actively searching for machines like yours.

By tapping into our nationwide marketing network and proven auction model, you can skip the waiting, the lowball offers, and the stress of selling on your own.

Instead, you get competitive bidding, real market value, and cash in hand — fast.

If it’s used on a jobsite, AEC can help you sell it quickly, efficiently, and at the best possible price.

You can sell just about any vehicle through AEC — commercial trucks, work vans, trailers, pickups, and even personal vehicles.

Our platform attracts buyers nationwide, from business owners looking for fleet additions to individuals hunting for reliable transportation.

Unlike traditional marketplaces where you deal with tire-kickers and wasted time, AEC puts your vehicle in front of motivated, pre-qualified bidders who are ready to buy.

No haggling. No holding out. No games.

Your vehicle gets marketed, auctioned, and sold to the highest bidder — and you get paid fast.

If it drives, hauls, tows, or rolls — we can sell it.

Nope — you don’t move a thing.

With AEC, your auction is 100% online. Your item stays right where it is until it sells. Once the buyer pays, they arrange pickup directly from your location.

That means no shipping costs, no logistics headaches, and no risk of damage in transit.

Our team walks you through everything, and you stay in control the entire time.

This saves you time, money, and energy — while still giving you nationwide exposure and full market value.

It’s the easiest, most efficient way to turn your equipment or vehicle into cash — fast.

No — and that’s what makes our platform powerful.

At AEC, every auction is absolute. That means no reserve price and every item sells to the highest bidder, no matter what.

Why? Because absolute auctions drive more bidder confidence, higher participation, and often stronger final prices than reserve-based models.

Buyers come ready to compete — and that competitive energy means better results for you.

Plus, it eliminates uncertainty and wasted time. You don’t have to wonder if something will sell.

It will. Every time. Guaranteed

We do — 100%.

At AEC, we take your item info and transform it into a professional auction listing. Then, we run targeted digital marketing campaigns, tap into our buyer network, and promote your auction across platforms that reach real buyers in your region and beyond.

We handle the messaging, the calls, the tire-kickers — so you don’t have to.

Our goal? To bring the right buyer to your door so you get paid quickly and without hassle.

You focus on running your business. We focus on selling your assets.

After the auction ends and the buyer pays, they’re responsible for arranging pickup directly from your location.

We help coordinate the communication and timing to keep the process smooth and stress-free.

Whether it’s a local pickup or a cross-country haul, our system is designed to protect both parties and ensure your item is picked up promptly.

No need for you to handle transport or logistics — that’s on the buyer.

You stay in control, and we back you every step of the way

Yes — but it’s simple and fair:

Just $50 per item. Flat rate. No commission. No percentage.

You pay once to list — and that’s it. Whether your item sells for $5,000 or $50,000, you keep the full amount minus the flat $50.

We don’t take a slice of your sale.

This model gives you full control, zero surprises, and lets you maximize your return.

It’s one of the lowest-risk, highest-reward auction platforms in the industry — and it’s built for sellers who value simplicity, speed, and real results.
