• Enter Brand, Model, and Equipment Description. Access our database of over (10,000) different equipment descriptions to help you list! For more than (20) years, EX-FACTORY INC has accumulated data and descriptions of these machines.

• You can enter a Reserve Amount or use “No Reserve” (recommended). MMA Tip: Reserves should be set at 15 - 30% of what you think the item might sell for. High reserves discourage bidders from bidding and might result in unsold items and low final bids.
  
  We very often recommend “No Reserve” for Auction listings, because bidders think that they are going to get a “DEAL” and more bidders get involved early on; they compete with each other, and the price goes up.
• Rigging/Loading/Equipment Pickup – Tell us if you can load the equipment or if it is going to be the Buyer’s responsibility, and when the equipment can be picked up. - Just in case, EX-FACTORY has a Freight/Logistics Department, and if required, we can provide transportation service for the Buyer.

• At least (1) photo of the equipment is required, but in most cases "not enough"! You can upload as many as you like, and (4 or 5) should be fine for a shop-size standard machine.
  MMA Tip: Photos sell! When you are listing, a tip's link will show you good and bad photo examples, in addition to tips for taking the best photos (lighting, staging, sequencing, etc.).

• This step allows you to arrange your photos in the order you prefer; especially useful when you have something like (10) or more photos.

1. Review the information you provided and edit as necessary.
2. Review and accept the MMA Seller Agreement (click here to preview) for your equipment and submit the listing to EX-FACTORYAuctions - MMA. (The listing is usually approved the same day.)

The review includes your description and key specifics like …did you choose the correct machine type, do you have the YMFG (year of manufacture, if available), Serial Number, and Electric/Voltage. Showing your item in the best light will bring the highest price at the end of the Auction. We may request new pictures or pictures with more detail. Tap into our knowledge of what Buyers want to see, use it to your advantage, and use it to fetch a higher selling price.

Once your listing is approved it will immediately be live in the "My Machinery Auction" section on the EX-FACTORYAuctions website. It will be promoted and offered until it sells or until you instruct us to remove it.

MMA auction closings occur on the final Tuesday of each month. If your listing does not sell, a member of our auction staff will contact you to inquire whether you want to renew the listing for the following month. There is no fee for this service.

MMA Tip: Keep in mind, most of the action happens towards the end of the Auction in the last (2) hours. Don’t be discouraged if bidding activity isn’t heavy at first.

Final Bids are placed and the Auction closes; with closing scheduled to start at 3 pm Eastern Time. Depending on the number of lots, the closing happens in time slots by groups. It might last 1/2-hour or less, and with a high number of lots, (2) hours, or more.

We handle the paperwork, collect the money, and pay you. You receive a Purchase Order and the winning bidder will be sent his Invoice providing him also with your complete address.
